A patron just came up to the desk and asked if we had any books on winches.
Not being the most tool-inclined person, what did I hear?
“Do you have any books on wenches?”
Luckily my filter was on, so I did not in fact ask why the boy wanted books on prostitutes. I asked him to spell it, and he indicated that it was a tool, so I quickly went to dictionary.com to see what kind of tool it was. Danger was averted, albeit barely. Nothing to see here.
(If you were wondering, we have no books on winches. Or wenches.)

No books on wenches???
Well, I won’t be visiting your library.
I thought you were already not coming because of the naked librarians calendar.
WOW…
Kari: You’re from rural North Carolina and don’t know what a winch is?
Now I have two reasons not to go.
I don’t need the library anyway, I get my books from your library
Alisa, I was referring to this story, which scared and disturbed Brian so much that he threatened to never come into the library again. hehe.
Geof: well, I do now? I am not sure what living in rural NC has to do with knowing that, but I’m glad it amused you.
Y’all don’t have ‘necks driving around with 4×4 trucks with winches on the front?
I have never noticed that . . . Mike says it’s in farming communities, so I’m sure I’ve seen it but not paid attention. Big trucks are not usually on my radar of things I pay much attention to, hehe.
No books on winches? Are there any books on winches?
