Monty Python also has a librarian sketch....


"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."

see the full script in  "Gorilla Librarian." Monty Python's Flying Circus, http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/gorilla.htm

Scottish library joke

A man walks into a Glasgow library and says to the librarian,
"Excuse me Miss, do ye huv any books on suicide?"
The librarian looks up and says, "Get lost! Ye'll no bring it back!"

My favourite library joke

A chicken walks into the library. It goes up to the circulation desk and says: "book, bok, bok, boook".
The librarian hands the chicken a book. It tucks it under his wing and runs out. A while later, the chicken runs back in, throws the first book into the return bin and goes back to the librarian saying: "book, bok, bok, bok, boook". Again the librarian gives it a book, and the chicken runs out. The librarian shakes her head. Within a few minutes, the chicken is back, returns the book and starts all over again: "boook, book, bok bok boook". The librarian gives him yet a third book, but this time as the chicken is running out the door, she follows it. The chicken runs down the street, through the park and down to the riverbank. There, sitting on a lily pad is a big, green frog. The chicken holds up the book and shows it to the frog, saying: "Book, bok, bok, boook". The frog blinks, and croaks: "read-it, read-it, read-it".

Sometimes the old jokes are the best.....

David Beckham walks into a library.
"I'll have a cheeseburger and fries, please.
"The librarian looks at him strangely. 'Sir,' she says, 'this is a library.'
David looks embarrassed and whispers as quietly as he can, 'Sorry! I'll have a cheeseburger and fries.'

The Art of Classification

Government is a great source of refinement in classification.
The British Public Record Office has a miscellaneous heading "Women, Witches, and the Working Class"  [Note the use of the Oxford Comma!].

Until 1951 the Foreign Office did not recognise the existence of Syria. Although it knew of the demise of the Medes and Persions it persisted in using the heading "Assyria"

5.    5.   No one in the scientific community has been able to reproduce the claimed results
6.    6.   Even if it were confirmed that he created the universe, what has he done since then?
7.    7.   When one experiment turned out badly, he tried to drown all those involved in it
8.    8.   He hardly ever went into the classroom to teach, and when he did, the only thing he would tell his students was that they should read his book 
 9.   He told his son to give his classes instead of giving them himself
10   10. His work was extremely erratic and he would even give classes and tutorials from the top of a hill
