At least he didn't want to view it in the library

posted Sunday, 20 July 2008

I'd been helping a very nice, polite young man with his questions about the citizenship exam. He was so polite that I was actually thinking to myself what a rarity he was. But before he left, he turned back to me and asked, in a lower but not overly embarrassed voice, if I knew where the nearest Adults Only Video store was. A bit shocked but also pretty amused, I gave it my best shot to see if I could find a listing, but when the porn adverts started popping up, I had to tell him it wasn't appropriate for me to look it up. I have to say, at least, unlike most of our porn-centric patrons, he didn't just think it was okey doke to be viewing it for free on the public terminals. That's a rarity, too.
