If you're ever wondering if you're a nerd, just ask yourself, "have I been in the library lately at noon on a weekday?" If you're still not sure, go ahead and ask yourself, "have I been the only person in a library at noon on a weekday except for an all-woman's book club with a mean age of roughly 97 years?" Well at this point you should realize that you are in fact a nerd. This was a recent scenario which I was the star of. Therefore, I am a nerd. But I don't regret it. You know why? Because today I was in a small public library, all alone, just me and the librarian, when suddenly one after another, old women began to come in and congregate in an area where they proceded to hold their book club meeting. Sounds innocent enough right? "Why Tim", you may then ask "was this such a great day?" Because my friend, at one point during the discussion which I was only vaguely listening to, a little white haired lady said the word, "Penis". You can probably imagine my reaction. It was kind of similar to the reaction you would have if you were looking straight ahead and someone blew an airhorn ten feet to your right. The best part about the "penis" comment, whatever context it was in, was that none of the other ancient ladies seemed to think it the least bit odd... or humorous for that matter! They just went right on doing what they were doing. But let me set the record straight once and for all. If you don't think that an old white haired lady saying "penis" in a library is hilarious, with all do respect, you are WRONG!
