What do y'all have in your stacks?
"Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes."
"No it isn't."
Oh good grief.
So. Crazy lady at one of our tables. She's talking loudly on the phone. I ask her to take the call outside. NOTE: I did *not* kick her out of the library. She ignores me, so I go get our security guard. As we get back to the adult area, she's already packed up and heading out. The guard escorts herβagain, I did NOT kick her outβand she's gibbering madly. She leaves the library and starts complaining... to one of our book drops.
Never a dull moment.
DON'T PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE JUKEBOX!
I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT SONG NO MORE!
If you cheat, may you cheat death
If you steal, may you steal another's heart
If you fight, may you fight for your fellows
If you drink, drink with me!
