"The Librarian"
The new Librarian decided that instead of
checking out children's books by writing
the names of borrowers on the book cards
herself, she would have the youngsters
sign their own names. She would then
tell them they were signing a "Contract"
for returning the books on time.
Her first customer was a second grader,
who looked surprised to see a new Librarian.
He brought four books to the desk and shoved
them across to the Librarian, giving her his
name as he did so.
The Librarian pushed the books back and
told him to sign them out. The boy laboriously
printed his name on each book card and then
handed them to her with a look of utter disgust.
Before the Librarian could even start her
speech he said, scornfully, "That other
Librarian we had could write."

"How To Find A Book"
Little Johnny asked and received help from a
librarian on how to use the card catalog. In a
little while, he approached the librarian again,
wanting to know how to spell "tequila."
"T-e-q-u-i-l-a," spelled the librarian, and Little
Johnny thanked her and went back to his search.
A short time later he came to the desk, looking
quite distraught. "I just can't find it." he said.
"What book are you looking for?" the librarian
asked.
Replied Little Johnny, "Tequila Mockingbird."
