My collection of hunorous enquiries is coming along very well. Many heart
felt thanks to those who have sent their humorous enquiries to me. Please
keep them coming. I hope to publish, electronically and possible in print
next autumn.
To help your Friday along here are a few enquiries on:-
How to ask for a book
Library user, “I replaced a book on the shelf that I borrowed form the
library. Can you tell me what I borrowed? The book has a beige cover.”
After several minutes questioning the book was located – with a red cover.
“Do you have books in here.”
“Have you any interesting books.”
“Do you rent out Bibles?”
“Do you have anything good to read?” – The librarian then got her audible
and mental answers mixed up and replied, “No. I’m afraid we have 75 000
books and they’re all duds.”
A student at Reading University, “I left a book in here yesterday. Has
anyone found it?”
A student at Regents College, London.
Student, “Where is the red book?”
Librarian, “Which red book?”
Student, “The one that I want.”
“I was here about three weeks ago looking at a cookbook that cost $39.95. Do
you know which one it is?”
