Overhead at my library yesterday...
While I was working with a librarian on finding a book title a man stepped up to the desk and said to the other librarian. "You see standing before you another helpless man." <So cute!> He got help with his problem and walked away.

Then the next man stepped up and said he needed to order a book, "Common Sense". The librarian looked up, smiled and asked, "Thomas Paine?". To which the guy responded, "NO! Glenn Beck!".
:rofl:

I found those two old farts amusing. Except that the second guy seemed like an angry type even before he opened his mouth. But I still think of him and chuckle even if I don't really know why.

1. Yeah, he sounds like a pain, but not a Paine.
But I guess the librarian was still at his Beck and call.

4. Just wait two weeks and the Glen Beck book will be at the DOLLAR STORE along with all the other GOP.
Last week i saw books by Colter, Limbaugh, Kathy Harris, Ollie North, William Shatner, O'Reilly, and a few others for sale at the dollar store.
