Overheard Conversations

"I always thought people came to the library to get books and information. I never thought that people would come to the library to poo all over the floor."

"I had no idea what I was getting into when I started working at the library."
"What do you mean?"
"I never considered that it would be necessary to have a psychology degree to check out books."


Help

We received a strange FAX today. All it said was, "Help".

Bossman had the police investigate.

Seems that a local business was trying out new FAX lines, transposed two numbers and we got the funny inter-office FAX, albeit in a completely different building!

We had fun making up stories on why a person would send out a FAX asking for help.

"Maybe they are stuck in a room - as a hostage - with nothing but a FAX machine."
"Why don't they use the FAX machine to call 911 and ask for help?"
"Maybe the FAX machine only sends FAX's."

"Maybe they are being held as a hostage and this was all they could do."

"Maybe..."
"Maybe..."
"Maybe it's a joke."

"Why would anyone send out a 'crank-FAX'?"
"Like a crank phone call?"
"Yeah. Why would anyone do that? That's dumb"

Maybe someone really does need help!"
