Comment with the words "Top Ten" or "Top Five", and I will reply with a subject for which you will generate a top ten (or top five) list. Post the list and instructions in your own journal.
Antenna gave me the option of giving Top Ten Stupid Patron Responses to Clearly-Posted Library Rules as myself or as Rupert Giles. I've had my say, now it's time for
Rupert Giles' Top Five Clearly-Posted Rules of the Sunnydale High School Library, With Asinine Student Responses Thereto:
5. No Food or Drink Beyond This Point posted at the top of each flight of stairs into the stacks. Larry: "Geez!" *roll of eyes* *slurp of soda* "Is it okay if I have the carbonated gas in my system when I go up there?"
4. All Materials Must Be Checked Out Before Leaving The Library posted at the desk, by the doors, and in various other places throughout the room. Cordelia: "I wasn't going to keep it, just take it home for a while. I don't need to check it out for that."
3. No More Than Three Items On One Subject May Be Checked Out To A Single Student At The Same Time posted at the desk. Harmony: "But Dr. Bronson is making my whole class do papers on precipices!" Willow: "Precipitation?" Harmony: "Whatever."
2. Fiction Is Arranged Alphabetically By Author's Last Name posted at each end of each range of fiction stacks. Percy (Willow's tutee): "Well, how am I supposed to know who wrote the stupid book?"
1. Before this particular comment I had not seen any need to put up a Do Not Cut Articles, Pictures, Mail-in forms, or Any Other Component Part, From The Magazines sign in the periodicals section, but by God, there is a notice there now. Another of Cordelia's Hangers-On: "I need pictures for a report. And my parents' taxes pay for these magazines! And you!"
