Sometimes I have to restrain myself

[ericcoleman]

I'm in a bookstore this evening and I see a shelf marked

Christian Fiction.

I had to resist the urge to do a certain amount of reshelving. Mostly because I like the folks who work there and it would reflect badly on them.

Hee, hee, hee! I can only imagine what books would be in there. Hee, hee, hee! There could be some songs coming out of that little event you wouldn't do in the wrong company. Hee, hee, hee!

You mean like putting all the Bibles on those shelves?

That was my thought. But we all know I'm going to hell anyway.

You don't need to move any books, just identify the locale for them: The Missionary Position.

muahahaha!

Which bookstore was this? A major one, or some small chain thing?

I had fun years ago, working at a local book fair. we had numerous copies of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". We put a handful under science-fiction, a few under humor, and a few under travel. Nobody stopped us, hehe. We put religious texts, the Bible, the Koran, even "The Satanic Verses" right next to Joseph Campbell's mythology books. I know we put a few biographies under either fiction or humor, and a lot of politically themed books went under humor. I think we put Heinlein's "Time Enough For Love" under "Romance" and his "Stranger in a Strange Land" under "Travel". We put L. Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth" into science fiction, religion, humor, and budget books.

So yes, there is SOME justice in the world...
