Scandalous suggestions after the cut…A library user felt bad that Ken Jennings made no money when she borrowed Brainiac, so she made a donation to the library instead. Ken enthusiastically approved:
I approve whole-heartedly—libraries are chronically under-funded these days, so if you’ve enjoyed the free books, media items, Internet, etc. at a local library during this year, let them know with a little holiday donation. Or if the reason you use the library is you because you don’t have any cash to throw around, offer to volunteer at your library instead. If both time and money are in short supply this winter, use your body. Romance a lonely librarian. As the movies have taught us, when librarians take off their dowdy glasses and let their hair down, some are real lookers. (emphasis added)
Shucks, Ken, we thought the dowdy-librarian-turned-sexpot was one of those images that was much more prevalent in the media than in real life—just like Mormon polygamy. Not that all librarians value monogamy (hint, hint). But we’ll drop our stereotypes if you’ll drop yours.
