This Week’s Patron of the Week comes from the Land of Random Thoughts To Tell The Librarian Assistant Before You Leave The Circulation Desk.
Please welcome Mr. Scientists-Are-Making-Non-Organic-Life-And-That’s-Scary-Isn’t-It?
So yes, as he was walking away from the desk, he turned around as if he had forgotten something and then said,
“Scientists are making non-organic life and that’s scary, isn’t it?”
Me and co-worker who also was standing at desk at time: “Hmmmm.”
What else can you say to that?
On the other hand, he said, scientists making non-organic life also could be seen as “cool.”
He then told me what else was cool: biological lasers…
…and really cool: “If they’d put those lasers on shark’s heads.”
Me and co-worker: “Hmmmm.”
After he left, I realized where his daughters, who are always taking out geeky books, get it from.
Today, I typed in “lasers on shark’s heads” and came across this (showing how much not of a geek I am since I completely missed the reference):
Patron of the Week: Her Friend’s Husband Is An Asshole
November 10, 2011 — 7 Comments
Yesterday I was helping a patron find a book. Another patron, a friend of the first patron’s, happened by and offered to help us. After we found the book, the first patron saw the above book on the same shelf.
She turned to the other woman and said, “You should get your husband that book.”
The second woman just shook her head and laughed, but with a twinkle in her eye as if she knew it were true and was thinking to herself: “My husband is an asshole.”
