so i do this thing where every sunday i write a new joke on the staff board at my job so i figured i'd start a post where i update them here too!! i'm missing a bunch because i didn't start taking photos 'til january but i started writing them last fall, but i'm sure i'll reuse them again someday!

all jokes have been stolen off of google and vary WIDELY in their quality, but every single one has made me laugh so i consider them worthy of the whiteboard :)

Dewey: A 300 call number in the fine arts section? What is this, Beirut?

Olivia: You know, you don't work here. You don't have to re-shelve the books.

Dewey: Well, someone has to.
