“Hello, friend, it’s me, CRAZY! Yeah, CRAZY! So good to hear your voice.”

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Do what I do, regardless of whether they're talking to themselves or not. Assume everyone is crazy, and give them a wide berth.

Why? Because believe me, it's the rather serene, sane-looking lady that totally loses it over the 50 cent overdue fine. Just a moment before she walked up to the desk you were thinking of complementing her blouse, but now, you really really wish she hadn't been born.

It's like how cops are always on their guard when they pull over a guy that ran a stop sign. You never know who's crazy and who's not.

You're a brave lady to walk the streets, and I salute you.

Library smackdown over .50?

My goodness, I bet the librarian who pulls up my $150 fine will be on her guard. I'll be sure to keep my hands raised at all times, and I'll compliment her on *her* blouse, assuming it's a woman, and she's wearing a blouse.

If she's not, I *definitely* want to know more about your library!

I'm pretending it's more interesting than it is. Though it is the Central Library in Downtown, so surely some unusual things happen there, and some unusual people work there.
