Re: HUMOR: weeding

[KAREN ALBRETHSEN <albreths@NEVADA.EDU>]

Karen Schneider's suggestion about a trap door made me remember a story I
heard as an undergraduate about a hundred years ago.
 
Supposedly, the public library in a small town was weeding the
collection, but "helpful" townspeople kept rescuing the boxes of discards
from the dump and returning them to the library.  Nearby, a new bank
building was going up, and so one dark night - the night before the
parking lot was to be bulldozed and paved - the boxes of discards were
buried, never to return again!
