Books that tell the tale

 






A young person came to the front desk with a friend to check out their books. I don't know why they didn't want to use the self check out machines. I'm a lot of fun, but they couldn't know that.

I scanned their card. A book on the account was listed as overdue. It was called "Would I Lie to You".

""Would I Lie to You" is overdue." I said. "Would you like me to renew it?"

"I already returned it." The person said.

"You already returned it?" I asked.

"What does it look like?" They asked. "Can you show me the screen?"

"I don't have a picture of it on here."

The person turned to their friend. "You have that book." They accused.

The friend didn't react.

I renewed the book "Would I Lie to You."

Yes, yes they would.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
