This is why I love working with librarians...

Working in a library definitely has its benefits, one of them being that from time to time a new book will come in that will have all of us crowding around like a bunch of twelve year old boys with a Penthouse.  Take, for example, the day that a coffee table book called "Homme" arrived, full of beautifully shot pictures of men in interesting positions and absolutely no clothes.

The conversations during morning break were hilarious.

Librarian 1:  God, he's gorgeous!   There's no way I'd push him out of bed. 
Librarian 2:  Hmm, maybe afterwards.  He's way too pretty to be someone you'd want to have a conversation with. 
Librarian 1:  I don't know ... even if he wasn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier I'd forgive a lot for that.  
*points* 
Librarian 3:  Come to Mamma!  Look at that thing, it's enormous! 
Librarian 1:  You have to be careful though, pictures like that give you unrealistic expectations.  No real guy has one that long. 
Librarian 2:  I know, it's probably digitally enhanced anyway. 
Librarian 3:  Who cares!   He's built, he's endowed, and he's wearing a fireman hat and waving a hose around.  Works for me!

 I've said it before and I'll say it again ... it's a very good thing that people don't know what goes on out the back of a library.

    I imagine that book will incur many overdue charges on library cards across your fine city!!!!

      I've no doubt. In fact, I fully expect every single copy to be mysteriously lost or damaged before they're due back.

      Ooh, you never say bookworm in a library! Creepy crawlies are a no-no in the stacks!

      It's definitely worth a looksee if they have it, for the giggle if nothing else.

      Yep, it's like that at the library too. Female dominated workplaces are all like that, I'd suspect.

    It's the same in a salon. We seem polite until there's no customers around. Now I have to find that book!

      LOL! Maybe you can put it out for the customers who are waiting for their appointments! I'm sure they'd appreciate the eye candy.

    Well, now I'm curious as to the volume of Librarian Fetishists you've driven your way. A clever marketing tool to be sure. Speaking of "tools", one of those librarians is a size queen. Is she/he sure she/he could handle a monster dong? It might just be uncomfortable.

      Oh no, if the plan was to corner the fetish market, I would have thrown as many Fifty Shades references in there as I could fit! Either that or rambled on endlessly about whips and chains and humblers and St Andrew's crosses.

      Nah, Fifty Shades references brings out the people whose idea of BDSM is a blindfold and fuzzy handcuffs.

      If you wanted fetishists, you'd have to throw out The Prince (The Tiffany Reisz version...not the Machiavelli version) references. :)

    So that's the reason why every time I went to bring back my library books I couldn't find any librarian to help me. And I wonder how many of those books are returned with the right number of pages as I'm sure you'll find page number 10, 33, 76, 43 and 89 plastered on some woman's wall at home. Naughty naughty women.

    LOL and then some. Now excuse me while I'm off to the library to tell the lovely lady in your picture about my unrealistic expectations... um I mean my online catalogue is completely lost... I mean, both my two laptops exploded...so I'll be needing her assistance. Well, whatever works for her. ;)

      Good luck on finding someone there to help! They'll probably all be out the back drooling over the pict ... I mean, they'll be out the back cataloguing. Yes, that's it, cataloguing.

      At least I know now what that catalogue looks like....

    Ha! And I thought y'all just sat around back there updating your card files. This one sounds like it's too good to be true. So you'd put in "fiction", right? ;)

    Haha - I like the comment about fiction! God, you wouldn't get a book like that in a library in the US. There'd be public outrage, the American Taliban (Tea Party) would come 'round and burn a whole stack of books, just to make a point.

    So, can I order that book online?

    I don't think I could ever work in the library. I love books so much I would probably be caught reading instead of doing my job all the time until they fired me. Or worse, working with books everyday would kill my enjoyment of them and then I would die a broken shell of a person.

    Either way, I don't think I am cut out to be a librarian.

    Oh my goodness I'll never feel the same when borrowing a book. Hmmm now I'm suspicious how everyone knows Mr Sweet's likes and dislikes when I go and pick up books and cd's for him.
