But, I have to say, in defense of librarians everywhere, there are some stereotypes included. <!--more-->We don&#8217;t all drink tea. And although we may complain about our patrons, it&#8217;s not cool to do so. We do love leftover food (doesn&#8217;t everybody?) And we should be proud of our passion to defend the First Amendment.</p>
<p>Anyway, enjoy. I think it will give you a few chuckles. If you don&#8217;t quite &#8220;get&#8221; some of the jokes, ask your favorite local librarian. Or, post a question in the Comments below.  Enjoy!</p>
