I was quite surprised when I had a look on the library computer to find that I had had one of my books for over 100 years. Fortunately the maximum fine for such an offence is £3.70.

Have you seen Glen Berger’s play “Underneath The Lintel”? (Richard Schiff performed it in the theatre and on the radio). In it, an overdue library book starts a chain reaction of events, involving Jesus himself!
Watch out if the librarian follows this one up!

Dave – you forget they will charge you interest. This could be a big sum we’re talking about… if I were an accountant I could have told you directly assuming a long term inflation rate of 3% with a premium interest charge of 1% above that… woooh!

Well it’s been 100 days since I lent you that 20 quid, but who’s counting..? (This is a gag for those less understanding readers, Dave has never borrowed off me as he is an international cartoonist earning heaps of money from cartoons. He has a staff of 30 and occasionally gets up in the morning before 11am.) (Comedy writing is a tough business don’t you know, so have compassion and buy more books!) footnote: Cartoons make you a fortune and if you would like to know how, just post me a big fat cheque and I may drop you a line on how to do it…!

Well, I think you can count yourself lucky, Dave, that you didn’t receive a fine of several hundred groats, a sound thrashing and a spell in the workhouse.
I went to the library once to research a holiday, but they were all booked up.
I’ll get me coat.

My daughter and I have had some library books out for 6 years. I am terrible with libraries, as you will see, and they always used to write to me with reminders when I fell overdue. But they never once wrote about this lot, so I forgot I even had them till years later. Now I just don’t know what to do. Silence = £0, but Fessing up = integrity. What to do, what to do… One of them’s a Billy Graham book, too.

Russ: I used to go out with a Dutch boy who had inflatable shoes.
But it didn’t last: he popped his clogs.
(My coat’s already on.)
