Read carefully.

Cue Paul Simon’s Slip Sliding Away.

Looks like a Screwey Decimal System’

She must have no problem hitchhiking with a thumb like that!

I bet there are plenty of chaos theory books on that shelf.

Some books are so good, you can’t put them down. The non-friction books, on the other hand…

It’s a slippery slope.

You got to get a hold of yourself, bro

They shouldn’t take the books so literally .

Shhhhhhhhhh! This is a library! If yer gonna make all that noise fallin’ down… then go outside to fall down!

Just goes to show the importance of one letter. Not writing one letter can easily turn a friend into a fiend.

I’ve heard of students going into the school library and asking for the friction books.

…and that, kids, is How I Met Your Mother.

Of course Bleeb is in the Friction section.

Engineering friction joke: two kittens are sitting precariously on a tilted slate roof. Which one will slide off first? The one with the smallest mu (mew).

I usually try to avoid friction, but in this case.

i floated by the anti-gravity section

In the non-friction section, you’d better get a hold of your shelf.

Bleeb is checking out the back of that book… I think he needs a new appendix.

Thanks John, very funny, and really very clever…

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a book so good, you can’t pick it up.

He provides an interesting presentation of the fly-leaf.

What’s the coefficient of fiction of that book?

I know that Einstein said it

It’s static and kinetic

Bodies in motion build up heat

We know where this is leadin’

Get close and start to feel it

Grind, grind, friction

Grind, grind, friction
