Dear local radio station,

Do you know how much point there is to playing 'Dick In A Box' when it's a sanitized radio edit in which they've fuzzed out half the punchline?

There is no point. None. The song ceases to be funny. It is ex-humour.

[personal profile] meretia, behind the counter at the library, helps a wingnut with a screw loose:*

But saying things like ... "A muslin? Oh no, sir, Obama's an organdy!" isn't good customer service...


*Sorry, couldn't resist.

Bonus material:

A library patron doesn't quite get the concept of time capsules...

Patron: Oh! No, I don't want to buy anything. Doesn't your library have time capsules?

Me: No, I don't think we've ever done that sort of project. If you're asking if we lend them out, I don't know how we'd go about getting them back after the three weeks you can check things out are up. I can check and see if we have anything by that title or any books on making time capsules, if that's what you're after...

Patron: *huff* Are you telling me that your library doesn't have anything that goes back in time?

Me: Well, I mean... we have history books. Is there a particular era or place that you'd like me to look up for you?

Patron: No, not history! I want something that goes back in time to the 1960s and 1970s.

Me: Sir, we cannot check out time machines to you because they don't exist. They're not real. If you're asking for something else, I'm sort of confused as to what it is you want.

Patron: I want one of those things. You store stuff in it and it, like, goes back in time.


ETA: QWP. Just noticed the entries are access-locked, but I did ask first.
