Bibliotekar-humor

Som en ekte bibliotekoman er det på sin plass å legge ved et aldri så lite eksempel på bibliotekar-humor.

Når det hele i tillegg er på engelsk (hele poenget ville falt fullstendig bort på et annet språk) så falt det enda mer i smak:

Chicken in a Library

A chicken walks into the library. It goes up to the circulation desk and says: "book, bok, bok, boook".

The librarian hands the chicken a book. It tucks it under its wing and runs out. A while later, the chicken runs back in, throws the first book into the return bin and goes back to the librarian saying: "book, bok, bok, bok, boook". Again the librarian gives it a book, and the chicken runs out. The librarian shakes her head.

Within a few minutes, the chicken is back, returns the book and starts all over again: "boook, book, bok bok boook". The librarian gives him yet a third book, but this time as the chicken is running out the door, she follows it.

The chicken runs down the street, through the park and down to the riverbank. There, sitting on a lily pad is a big, green frog. The chicken holds up the book and shows it to the frog, saying: "Book, bok, bok, boook". The frog blinks, and croaks: "read-it, read-it, read-it".

Every cloud has a silver lining

And what a day this turned out to be!!

One fortunate telephone call, and Whoppee!!, I've earned a teaching position at a local school!! Only part time at the moment, but I might do well in an interwiew held at the same school in a day or two, and thus aspire into a full time position!

I'm a lucky, lucky girl!

Happy, now.

To get up on the wrong foot

Where's my confidence, my "drive" and my cheerfulness?

Where's my smile, my humour and my heartiness?

Where's my appetite for life, my spark and my eagerness?

What I really should have done now was to erase and rewind my morning, and try getting up - this time on the right foot!
