You're right about that, Sandra! You'd be surprised what people ask librarians! These are real, from my own experience:

"Do you have any books?"   (No, those things on the shelves have been repossessed.)

"You mean I have to read this?!" (Brilliant, Sherlock! Brilliant!)

"But why don't you have anything on the evolvution of the raccoon?" (Because nobody has written one -- why don't you get started, huh?)

"Do you know where the bathroom is?" (No, I use the lawn.)

"Why don't you people have any good books?" (We do, but we hide them from twits like you.)

"Why do you people charge so much in fines?" (It's personal -- we only charge you and you have to make up the difference in our budget.)

My second favorite stupid question, though:

You leave a meeting and puke into a potted palm just outside the door. You're sitting on a chair, vomit on your shirt, pale, just barely in control again and someone walks by and asks, "You sick or something?"
