Bodad, Phoebe Ann Mosey was a girl from Darke County, Ohio who married a guy named Frank Butler -- they were married fifty years. Phoebe Ann and Frank lived in Cincinnati for a bit, and she probably took her stage name from a Cincinnati neighborhood -- Oakley. So our Library here started this.

Oy, yes, diarrhea'd thrones. A FAVORITE "spare-time" task of clergy spouses. Can't tell you how may times I've encountered THAT when our church building's been opened for some other non-worship public use! One can't quite leave it for the part-time custodial guy!

A condom as a hymnal bookmark, now, I have not seen. Yet. I'll ask Hardi though! He doesn't always tell me what HE finds, because it's such a frequent occurrence that SOME weird thing turns up!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Rap, I had no idea, I may never set foot in a public library again, it makes Apocalypse Now look like a Sunday picnic. You guys should be issued riot gear and small arms - it's a jungle in there.

Librarians, sure. You ever face someone who's livid because they "never took that out" and "I don't even have a library card" and who, when shown their application for a card with their signature on it claims "you forged that!"? Over a fifty cent fine?

Ever cleaned up poop that falls out of loosely worn diapers or Depends? Or a public toilet that someone with diarrhea has made unusable? Or the blood from someone who yanks off their bandages at the checkout desk?

Ever been threatened with a knife simply for standing at a desk helping people? Or found a used condom used as a bookmark? Had someone collapse in front of you (we have an AED in the library)? Had a police sniper shoot someone dead in a hostage situation you were involved in (as happened in the Salt Lake City PL)? Or been working in a building when a backpack explodes (SLCPL again)?

Exhibitionists, drunks, and the mentally disturbed are simple, common problems.

I could go on...but libraries and especially public libraries are viewed by many as places as nice as Canada AND are run by little old ladies who can be intimidated by a withering glance and the word "damn". Little do they know that librarians climb rocks, whitewater raft, engage in shooting sports from sporting clays to archery, hold top ranks in the martial arts, are ex-cops and ex-combat veterans (I know of three who jumped with the OSS to work with various resistance groups in WW2 and even more who fought in 'Nam), quilt, have children, can program in several computer languages, leap tall buildings with a single bound, and run a multimillion dollar library system with a multithousand dollar budget.

And they still care.

Yeah. Librarians.

Bruce, I was in the Air Force, and I was in maintenance for the first four years. Once you tell guys "That stuff doesn't bother me," they do their damnedest to prove you wrong. I didn't hear this one in the Air Force, but I think I know it, so you're off the hook. (I couldn't tell it worth a damn, but I remember the punch line.)

Boys!... sigh.

I used to eat lunch with doctors who thought it was fun to see if they could gross me out. I don't get grossed out. I've probably heard it already anyway.

It's a visual. That is, it uses a few props in the telling. Pat Sky--from whom I learned it--made a fellow throw up when he told it. I have only once been able to do that but it was fun. Bobad, next time we meet I'll do the joke for you. However, it ain't for ladies.
