While I was amusing myself, browsing, through the returned book trolley at the volunteer-run library at Kerikeri in New Zealand.
A gentleman said rather loudly, ‘I hope you’re not messing up my system!’
I replied ‘Hopefully not, as that would be a shame.’
Cupping his hand to his ear he said ‘Sorry I can’t hear you I’m deaf.’
At that moment a bookmark fluttered to the floor from the book I was holding.
The gentleman said ‘You’ve dropped your bookmark!’
I replied ‘No it's not mine.’
‘You can keep it.’ He answered.
On picking it up and saying thank you, I had to giggle to myself, as the bookmark was advertising an Audiology service in the North Island.
