16. The Pop-Up Book of Human Anatomy

I don't work in a library, but I do visit one from time to time. On my last visit, a man was reading a book titled "The Book of Unsolved Mysteries." I patiently pointed out to the librarian that, if they were solved, they would not be mysteries. If they were still mysteries, they could not have been solved. Thus the title was redundant and stupid.

The librarian was unable to explain why they would buy a book with such a stupid title.

I work at a lot of libraries.

One library had just got a shipment of new children's picture books in. One of them was about President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

The picture of her under his desk was particularly amusing though not appropriate for kids.

I wish I could remember the title.

It was supposed to deliver a good moral.

I don't think it made it to the stacks.

Monica Lewinski, Bill Clinton and Moral in the same conversation. Does anyone but me see the irony in that?
