Hursthouse And Abortion Rights

We read with imagination!

Hello!
Today I wanted to share with you some funny situations that happen in the library when readers have more fantasy writers, especially when I inquire about a book ...
I think all of us, sooner or later, happened to mangle the name of an author, can not remember the title or ask a question in our mind was clear, but the accusation was absurd words.
This is a way to laugh about it together and start the day with an ironic which is good.
few days ago a lady comes and asks serious and contrite: "I'm looking for Miss The Girl with the white ball." Unaware of the title tries to connect the PC and wonder if the know the name author. Answer: "Miss, is famous! The girl with the white ball is a masterpiece and have drawn even a movie! Have not seen it before?". My colleague, patient and humble, then asks politely if the lady can tell briefly the story and eventually discovers that the "white ball" that the lady had imprinted in my mind was none other than ... a Pearl Earring!
Un'altra chicca è capitata proprio a me e giuro che, purtroppo, è vera.
Una signora con la scatola di un pc nuovo nuovo sotto braccio entra e mi chiede: "Avete libri sui computer nuovi? Vede che bello? Ne ho appena comprato uno nuovo!".
Le chiedo: "Signora, che sistema operativo ha in uso il pc che ha acquistato?".
Risposta: "Ah, mi fa una domanda troppo difficile. Io l'ho solo cambiato perché con l'altro vedevo male e il commesso mi ha suggerito Vista e io l'ho preso perché così anche io che ho problemi di vista posso lavorarci meglio".
I swear I thought I was taking about. But when I realized that it was convinced that "Vista" indicates something better for the eyes I felt my legs give way! As I will explain now??
little moments of everyday life in the library.
Now I'm flying to work today!
Good day to you all!
