Today I overheard an extra fun tidbit in the library today. There are two old men who come in everyday and everyone in the neighborhood knows them. The first one, actually, is known by everyone in the whole city because he is an eccentric lunatic with a list of priors that include things like "menacing." He likes to talk big and meaningful, but I learned from someone else in the hood that he has never had a job and lives off of a trust fund. The second one just says funny things occasionally and is generally good natured.
First old guy:The students at ::Local:: University don't know Shakespeare! Or Philosophy! They should ban alcohol there and become a dry campus! Other Old Guy: College without beer is like sausage without sauerkraut. Who wants that?
Patron on the phone: I'm interested in the program you're having this Saturday, hosted by the housing authority. Me on the phone: Yes, the one about accomodating your properties for Section 8? Patron: Yeah. Are they going to be talking about how to keep blackpeople out of your buildings?
I don't watch TV because I get all the entertainment I need at work. You'll never know my name, where this library where I work is located, or anything else connecting this blog to the real world in order to protect a patron's right to privacy. Some things are just too funny to not share, so I use this blog as an outlet. If you somehow figure out who or where I am, please keep it to yourself.
