A pair of chickens walks up to the circulation desk at a public library and say, ‘Buk Buk BUK.’ The librarian decides that the chickens desire three books, so she gives them the books and the chickens leave shortly thereafter.

Around midday the two chickens return to the circulation desk quite vexed and say, ‘Buk Buk BuKKOOK!’ The librarian decides that the chickens desire another three books and complies. The chickens leave as before.

The two chickens return to the library in the early afternoon, approach the librarian, looking very annoyed and say, ‘Buk Buk Buk Buk Bukkooook!’ The librarian is now a little suspicious of these chickens. She gives them what they request, and decides to follow them.

She follows them out of the library, out of the town, and to a park. At this point, she hides behind a tree, not wanting to be seen. She sees the two chickens throwing the books at a frog in a pond, to which the frog keeps saying, “Rrredit Rrredit Rrredit…”

Here’s a nice Millenial Ode to technology and the gap between generations from xkcd.

This comic is from the Unshelved series at OverdueMedia.com. Very funny comics–something that EVERY librarian should have in their RSS feeds. And be sure to visit their online store, which has books of comics, shirts, hats, and more!

Here’s a great post that I read YESTERDAY at ALA TechSource. Who’d have thought it would finally happen?

The comic strip Unshelved is full of library-related humor and occasionally some oblique cultural references, such as in today’s comic.

Great stuff here. Highly recommended to all library staff with a funny bone. Get Unshelved in your Google Reader or homepage!

Father Guido Sarducci (from Saturday Night Live) gives us a funny (and scarily accurate) look at higher education. I saw this in a grad-level education class a few years back, but thanks to YouTube, we can have it again!
