Re: humor: titles of fave books from freshman

[Bill McLoughlin <WMcLoughlin@WORTHINGTON.K12.OH.US>]

C.D. McLean's humorous post about mangled book titles reminds me of one of =
the funniest (or saddest) examples I encountered in my public library =
days:

A teenage girl at the distant online catalog was becoming more and more =
exasperated.  She finally walked over to a librarian and asked for the =
spelling of "tequila," which the librarian provided.  Yet after several =
more minutes of searching the catalog, the girl seemed more frustrated =
than ever.

The librarian walked over to calm her down and assist with the search.  =
Imagine her surprise when she learned that the girl had been trying to do =
a title search for "Tequila Mockingbird."

Poor kid... I guess that's what she thought she heard when the teacher =
gave the reading assignment.

What would they do without us???!!!!  :)
