This actually happened some time ago, but I thought I ought to share.
I'm walking out of the library when Scott Adaire (Circulation manager) stops me.
Scott: Hey Jenn, could you do me a favor? There are three uniformed police officers in the library. Could you please find them and let then know that the man they are searching for is down here?
I look at the man sitting in the chair next to Scott who I'm thinking is some kind of mass murderer/rapist/bibliophile, but in reality he looks pretty harmless. In fact, he resembles what I would imagine the Pilsbury doughboy would look like if someone put him in the sun for a few hours. He's all sad and droopy and kind of sticky looking. But anyway, I go looking for the police officers who cart the guy away. I later ask Scott what the guy's deal was. The answer:
Scott: Man, I've been trying to catch this guy for years. He keeps coming in and conducting surveys.
Jenn: Surveys?
Scott: Yeah, surveys. Surveys about...tickin'.
Jenn: Excuse me?
Scott: Apparently, he goes up to female students and tells them he's a grad student from UNC and would she mind participating on a survey about tickin'. Not "tickling," mind you, but "ticklin'".
Jenn: HAHAHAHAHAHA!! And what kinds of questions does he ask them?
Scott: I don't really know, but I can guess.
I'm not sure what's more funny. The fact that this guy thought this was a fantastic way to pick up girls or the fact that THREE police officers were called in to catch the "ticklin' survey man".
Wow, the library is such an exciting place.
