I'll never forget when I bought my copy of "Slander" at Atlantic Bookstore on Rehoboth Beach....the clerk held it by the corner at arm's length to put it in a bag for me, as thopugh he were handling doggie doo....I told him not to be afraid, he wouldn't acquire some wasting disease from handling the book....the look I got would have killed me if it were a bullet

"....I told him not to be afraid, he wouldn't acquire some wasting disease from handling the book...."

Yes, but have you ever considered the possiblity YOU might have acquired some wasting disease from handling the book AFTER he handled the book? Maybe he really did you a favor by not touching it too much.

LOL - it would almost be worth going in every day and buying a copy just to laugh at that idiot!

LOL. And you obviously can't acquire wisdom just by being around books...B&N clerks/college professors prove that.

Uh, maybe he was trying to keep from getting a paper cut and spreading a wasting disease.
