A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Book

CONTENT WARNING: Dead Animal
 

My mom works at a library. After noticing a bad smell, she calls maintenance.

My Mom: “I need you to come check out a bad smell. I think there might be a dead animal in the ceiling.”

Maintenance turns up and investigates the bad smell.

Maintenance: “Well, we found the source of the smell.”

My Mom: “What was it? Where in the ceiling was it?”

Maintenance: “It was a dead bird… and it wasn’t in the ceiling.” 

Someone had put a dead bird… in a book.
