[Publib] Could we talk about funny names for patrons?

[Humboldt Library]

One of our patrons with a perpetual scowl and a particularly ungracious
manner is known to staff as "Serial Kramer". I've changed his name, but
it does begin with k and have two syllables. 

 

He doesn't come in quite so often since his son found him viewing
scantily clad mail order brides on a patron computer. I've always
wondered if the kid told his mother.

 

I hope not, as he works at the hospital lab in our small town drawing
blood. I wouldn't want him to hold a grudge against library staff.

Or a dictionary for an unwritten African language. Actual question.

How about funny reference questions?  I never did find the answer to
"when did they start putting fingerholes in bowling balls?"
