A Library Joke

[rhythmaning]

Following my post about libraries, frankie_ecap told me her library joke...

A man walks into a library, walks up to the desk and says in a very loud voice to the librarian, "Two pounds of lean mince, please!"

The librarian looks at him askance over the top of her glasses and hisses back, "This is a library, sir!"

The man looks around him and sees all the books. In a hushed whisper he says, "Awfully sorry... Two pounds of lean mince, please..."

(OK, it is a verbal joke that perhaps doesn't translate to the written word... But it makes me laugh!)

I think you invented the very loud voice. He talks in a normal voice at first.

A little embellishment, perhaps... I imagined my voice (being solipsistic) - hence, loud!
