Moments ago, a nice man came up to the reference desk and asked for a book on “caring for . . . a shrubbery.”
Unfortunately, no dramatic chord played, and I completely missed my chance to say, “Agh! No! Never! We have no shrubberies here.”
I’ve got to be quicker on my feet.

“might I interest you in a book on herrings?”
I am disappointed in you, Kari.
He didn’t seem like he would have understood if I had made a joke anyway. And that’s always REALLY awkward . . .
“We have no shrubberies here!”
*blank stare*
“Sure, let me show you where they are!”
HAHA!..
you should have done that.. that would have made an AWESOME! blog entry
You cannot just arrange shrubbery any which way, you need a book!
Kari, you crack me up
I think you should have said what you titled your blog post today. That would’ve gotten you a really interesting look
that’s hilarious. I think it’s funnier that you thought of it later and wished you’d said it. I do that all the time, and then you’re the only one to laugh about it. (until you write a blog entry, of course)
you should’ve just said “Ni!”
Shall random librarians say “Ni” to nice men? What is this world coming to!?
