Close to Home by John McPherson for March 15, 2022

I guess Irony is right there with Philosophy in the 100’s.

Thus the need for those bars that attach across the top of the book racks. Look up next time you’re in a library.

meanwhile, another library guest is about to go from someone who is behind in his teading to become someone who has reading in his behind

It may be funny to us, but it’s deadly serious for the library patron in the 401-500 section.

Books?…In this era of Google, people STILL go to the library??…(Yes, I do too)

O-o-o-kay, where are the earthquake straps?

Usually, you flip the guy off and be done with it. N-o-o-o! You gotta wreck half of the library! And you know very well your warning will be too late! A-a-a-nd you didn’t think about Bleeb!

Hey, green shirt! Take a jump to the right! Like doing the Time Warp!

I once saw this happen in real-time at a grocery store distribution centre. Pallets of boxes of broken glass jars strewn everywhere. What a mess it created.

I hope Bozo’s still not shelf sleeping

It’s about to get a whole lot worse for the nervous looking guy in the green sweater

library. you mean the internet. google

Quick! Bleeb, jump to your right! Green shirt guy, quick step to your right!

Bleeb …get outta there…..

What’s that yellow glob on the floor that looks like a smooshed banana?

Why would he want to read about a pizza chain?

So I was sitting up in bed last night, quietly reading a book, and then it hit me… OH!, now I get yesterday’s joke! Then I thought, hmm, I should probably put this book down and pay attention. So I put it down, and then calmly and softly rolled over and…

… looked under the bed to see if Bleeb was under there!

(HA! You thought it was goin’ somewhere else didn’t ya!)

The dominoe effect!

So that guy is about to get his spine crushed?

Relax: Bleeb is safe from impact. Look at the height where the first bookcase hit the second, and where the second hit the third. The third bookcase should hit the fourth just below where Bleeb is perched. (Besides, the bookcase itself and the surrounding books should take most of the impact.)

Dewey Decimal Catastrophe.

Sounds like a math problem. The height and weight of book shelf one x the force of the push. at what angle will book shelf two?

According to the Dewey Decimal Classification the 400’s are about languages. Maybe Bleeb was looking to learn English so he could talk to us?!? ⸌(ㆆ‿ㆆ)⸍

Hang on Bleeb you are going for a ride.

Ah here’s the book I was looking for, Being a Klutz.

Knowlege is power. Somebody turn off the power!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Bleeb! :)

He should be in the 700’s

Bleeb:“One to beam up….Quickly !”
