Bob,
ROTFL
Okay, okay, wait a minute ... this reminds of a librarian,
who I understand is retiring soon, but I'll refrain from
mentioning her name. She was kind enough to host the
Ballard librarians' retreat one year. While she showed us
around the library, we noticed and remarked on how clean and
orderly it looked. One of us asked how she kept the tables
clear of books when no one was sitting at them, and how she
got the lawyers to sign out their books. Sign out cards
were filed in their proper places everywhere.
She said that during orientation, she pulls a "Dirty Harry"
line. With a straight face, she says, "If you don't follow
the rules, I'll kill you!" She scares them &%$)@#, if you
know what I mean. <g>
