A Double Bandaged Lust Story
(I am looking for a book from the ‘holds’ section of my local library. An old woman, about 75 years old, approaches me.)
Old Woman: “Excuse me, but can you see if there is a book under [name]? I left my glasses in the car, and I can’t read the print.”
Me: “Yes, ma’am, there is one.” *I hand her the book*
Old Woman: “What is the title?”
Me: “A Double Barrelled Detective Story, by Mark Twain.”
Old Woman: “Thank you, that’s exactly what I’m looking for.”
(Later on, I go to check out a couple books. I see the old woman in line in front of me.)
Old Woman: *to employee* “This young man helped me find my book. I would like to thank him.”
Me: “No problem, ma’am.”
Employee: “He volunteers here sometimes. He’s quite helpful.”
Old Woman: “Oh! Then maybe he could help me find another book I’m looking for. All of my friends have it, and I want to know what all the fuss is about!”
Employee: “What book would that be?”
Old Woman: “It’s called 50 Shades of Grey.”
