Mr_Rose:
Lots? Mine did for sure. Besides, what would you rather have? Straight alphabetic by title? Scent marks? The Library of Congress system? >_~

And I think that's drawing a bit of a long bow, honestly.

Sorry, not working for me. And I can't figure out this google thing. :cry:

The quote is by Ring Lardner, from his 1920 humorous novel The Young Immigrants. Not that I ever read it -- I just saw the quote somewhere and was taken with it.
Yeah, it's kind of a stretch. Probably the more obvious joke is that the sign says "shut up" rather than "quiet please" or whatever the normal entry in the librarian protocol database is. If so, then there's the symmetry that all 3 were from Tai: (1) Dewey/do-we (2) "Oh joyous day"/iambic pentameter (3) snarky sign. But since Jeph said the jokes were nerdy, I thought I'd nerd out on it.
Kugai:
I wonder if the wind whistles between Padmas ears?
