OT Humor for librarians

The Tribune has started running a Garrison Keillor
piece once a week. This one's pretty funny.

Thanks for the link. Pretty good stuff, except for the
stereotypical picture of the librarian with a bun, sensible shoes, etc.
That's sooo outdated. :-)

From the article:

If we English majors would make our voices heard and flood Congress
with angry sonnets

Claspy, get on it right away.

lip, the navy-blue knit dress, the sensible shoes, and the glasses on a
chain ..."

Might not have to. Depending on just when and where we meet, we may or may
not be staying at Fisher's shack.

Keillor may be "feeding us ****" as the article so eloquently
states it, but in Kentucky it's considered downright risque.

Keillor Uncensored

Two weeks after a Lexington, Ky., public radio station dropped it over
concerns that its content could incur indecency fines, "The Writer's
Almanac" returns today to the station's broadcast lineup, The Lexington
Herald-Leader reported on Saturday. The five-minute program, in which
the writer and radio host Garrison Keillor presents a roundup on
this-day-in-literary-history, was removed from WUKY's morning schedule
on Aug. 1 because of concerns that the word "breast" and the phrase "get
high" in the program's poetic recitations might be considered indecent.
In a Herald-Leader article published on Friday, the general manager of
the University of Kentucky station, Tom Godell, said of Mr. Keillor,
"It's not that he's behaving like Howard Stern, but the F.C.C. has been
so inconsistent, we don't know where we stand." The cancellation
initially prompted few complaints, but a deluge from listeners on Friday
apparently persuaded the station to reverse its decision that afternoon.


You just cannot make this **** up. ;-)

That Goddammed mother-****er Keillor. Where the hell does he get off
using profanity like that . . .
