Library Card

So I live next to a library. Today is my first day off in about 3 weeks and I went for a long walk and decided to pop in and see if I could get a library card. Seems uneventful right? Well, it was probably the most awkward conversation EVER.
I walked up to the desk where this butch looking woman with a crew cut and the biggest bosoms ever was working. Here is what transpired:

Bosoms: Yes?
Me: Hi! I'd like to apply for a library card please.
Bosoms: ...........long pause................Well.............you have to prove you live here.
Me: Here's my driver's license!
Bosoms: ............long pause....................Well. It'll be a while. Go sit down and fill this out and someone will get to it eventually.............
Me: *laughs* Okay.......*sits down next to homeless man and fills out application*
Me: Okay, here's my application!
Bosoms: Okaaaaaaaaay...........it'll be like 4 hours before this gets processed.
Me: *looks around and sees no one else who looks REMOTELY busy* um.....why?
Bosoms: Because everyone's doing other things.
Me: *looks around again and doesn't see anyone doing any 'things'* Why can't you do it?
Bosoms: It'll be around 4 hours.
Me: Right............well, bye!



I won't be going back in four hours.

Librarians are a weird folk. hey, THANKS for the shoe comment. I know I can trust you in fashion sense. I actually did get them the other day. They look like someone dug them out of 1910 Titanic wreckage. I LOVE them.

Miss you,
