"Why my book has not been returned to the library"
- Because I left it in my truck, and my truck was in an accident and got towed to the garage, and I won't be able to get to the garage until this weekend.
- My mother took it camping and lost it.
- I didn't take it out!
- Because my cat peed on it and it smells too bad.
- It flew out the car window on the 401 Freeway and was devoured by an 18 wheeler!
I used to work at the American Corner in Belgrade, Serbia, and we had a guy who regularly wrote stuff on book pages. All the books at the American Corner were in English, and his mother tongue was Serbian.
When we asked him not to do so, he said: It's easier for me to write it here so I could understand better!
Then we asked him to write translations on a piece of paper and consult it while reading, and he said: Well, won't it be easier for the next person who checks out this book if I just keep on writing directly on pages? They won't need a dictionary!
He was impossible.
