I think an aura of the video store must linger with me - though people don't ask me for Bukkake Mon Amor, or Ready to Drop - I still get an unsavoury number asking where playboy is. I think they may be trying to shock me, as even unqualified library assistants are notoriously easy to shock. I'm glad we don't retain playboy any more; its bad enough returning sensual massage books with the pages stuck together, let alone Hugh Heffner's airbrushed barbies (why doesn't he just overdose on viagra and die of a heart attack already?).
Still, playboy requests pale in comparison to one a colleague of mine fielded: "Where do you find books on curing invisibility?". Even better, the gift kept on giving - the person was sent to ask at the brainz counter - the central reference desk on the first floor.
Well, how was a lowly circulation staff member going to answer a difficult question like that?
