First thing in the morning yesterday, an elderly man who frequently contacts the library called the reference desk. Usually he calls up and says to me, "Now, I've been watching the news, and I keep hearing about a place called Dar.fur. Is there a country called Dar.fur.?" And then we chat about Sudan. Or he calls and says, "I saw on television yesterday a special about Easter. Now, when did the celebration of Easter begin?" And then we chat about pagans. Yesterday he called and told me, "I was watching channel 41 yesterday [he watches a lot of TV] at 3:15 and I saw a show called Transitions and there was a model on there with dark brown hair. Can you help me find her?" Yeah, his "show" was this commercial. My question is why, exactly, he needed to find this model.
Did you see this episode of The Office? Dwight would be a good librarian.
