I usually tell them blonde suits them much better.

Pause.

"You mean, non-fiction?"

I don't get that...?

In the Dewey Decimal System, non-fiction books are sorted by a subject number. Fiction books are sorted by author.

I've never heard of anyone referring to them as "the number books" though.

'Tis true, 'tis true. It actually took me a couple seconds to figure out what the patron was asking for.

Ah, thank you CP.

So, they're made out of cheese, but what's in them?

"How much did that copy of Harry Potter Cost you?"

"I got it from the library."

"Oh....do you have to have it back by a certain date?"

SacTown Chronic · 07-27-2005, 04:28 PM

Dude, where's my car?

Prudence · 07-27-2005, 04:52 PM

Every time my husband asks me where we parked, I respond: "Outside."

And yet, he still asks me where we parked.

Back in the '80s when I worked at Tower Records, a woman came in to buy a record for her nephew. "Do you have 'The Children are Fine'?"

...and Prudence, your car comment reminds me that whenever someone tries to engage me in a conversation about my tattoos with "Nice tat, where'd you get it?" I invariably reply, "On my arm."

This thread reminds me of the old "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" that Al Jaffee wrote for Mad Magazine.
