What else did you have to jot down?

Patron: I'd like to sign my son up for a library card.
Librarian: Sure. Let me check to make sure he doesn't already have one. When is his birthday?

Amazing Names Thursday #8

It was one of those days. You know, one of those days where I ate sweet potatoes until they came out my pores and I looked all jaundiced? I have those all the time, don't you? Sorry this post is late.

Remember our friend, X'zayveyar, or however the heck you spelled it, from a while back? Well, some innovative mother took it to a whole new level. Instead of a taking a normal name and spelling it a new way, she decided an adjective would be a good word for a name, and would put a cute spin on spelling it. We see adjective names a lot - Precious, Bonita, etc. I'm a little curious as to why a mom would give your child such an adverse description as Phyctee.

I might start doing this to people on purpose

Librarian on phone: I'm sorry sir, but since you've already renewed that item 2x, you can't renew it again.
Patron on phone: I'ma 'bout to come out there and throw a canna water on you!
Librarian: Excuse me?
Patron: Oh, I was just yellin' at a stray cat on my porch. I'll come by and drop my book off later.

Man walks into a bar

No, I mean, a man walks into the library...

5 minutes before it closes. Yells, "Last call for alcohol!" Looks at the reference desk, and says, "Hi, how's it going?" And then walks promptly back out the door.

Amazing names Thursday #7

Did you miss me?!?!?!

What I had feared would happen did indeed happen. I ran out of names. Actually, I didn't run out of names, but the names that I had included first and last names, and thus would reveal the identity of patrons. There were some good ones in there, too. One was a palandrome and one was ironic. Alas...

I met a little boy named Macgyver. That was his first name. I couldn't ask if his real name was Angus because he didn't speak English.

Making the world 100x cuter!

Kaylah at the Dainty Squid is having a give away!

There are a lot of things you can find out in the library, but whether or not you are pregnant should really be determined by a doctor

Mom: Girl, why you bein' all tired and lazy. You pregnant?
Daughter: No
Mom: Lemme look at you. ::proceeds to grab daughter's chin and examine her face::
Yeah, I think you pregnant.
