A line drawing (In the style of a New Yorker cartoon) of a nekked gent with his hands up. I've attached a post-it fig leaf to his nether regions and posted it on my desk. The fig leaf needs constant replacement as staffers check to see what is under it. MLIS

The type of Alpha-Mom patron who acts like the ref desk staff are department store clerks (you know the kind) came in and said "Could you bring me these things?" handing over a list of videos. Later at check out, she said "How could I have eighty five dollars in fines?!" MLIS

We have a mentally deficient young man, about 15, who comes in fairly frequently. I caught him masturbating to a video on YouTube of little girls in swimsuits on our public computers, grunting and squealing. He was told to stop, but a few minutes later he finished. Watching the fishtank. MLIS

A patron came over to the Ref Desk and wanted to locate the shelf of an encyclopedia, which name started with "w." "World Book?" "No." "Well come over here we have Britannica, Americana...." She leads him off to the encyclopedias. Turns out the guy was looking for the Wikipedia on a shelf. MLIS

I had an elderly woman that would come in every other week or so. While in the stacks (which were maybe 10 feet away from the my desk, the circulation desk) this woman would pass gas, not silent ones where you just wondered if she really did it, they were loud and sometimes smelly!!! MLIS

I was 17 and a page. I was putting away some videos in the front of the library and this little kid walking by with his mom towards the circ desk turns to me and says very cheerfully "Goodbye Satan man." and this was after I had shaved off my purple mohawk, I looked pretty normal that day. MLIS

We are in a military town where we have lots of troops deployed overseas. Last week, we had a female customer checking out "365 Days of Sensational Sex" and a few other similar titles. As the circ staffer handed her the books, the child with her exclaimed "My daddy's coming home in two days!" MLIS

A student told me he had to do a report on a state. I asked him which state he was researching, and he told me Puerto Rico. When I explained that Puerto Rico was not a state, he told me that perhaps it should become one because then we could move it closer. MLIS

There's a little boy that comes in all the time and he loves me, and he's a little "different". He comes in one day, points at one of my co-workers (the one I don't really like) and says "You ARE the weakest link." He was about 6 at the time. It was great. MLIS
