Yesterday at the Jeffersonville Library a really old lady with a cane was walking around, talking to people -- she seemed to be exhibiting some symptoms of, at the very least, senility, but harmlessly. Until she wandered over to me. She asked me to "bend over." I'm not making this up.
She had a really thick (I think German) accent so I didn't even understand her until she whacked me on the butt with her cane (very lightly -- the little old thing didn't have much strength). Then she said, "I said bend over. What do you think this thing (the cane) is for?" and wandered off to talk with someone else. I was the only one who received a spanking. Everyone else just got a stern talking-to.
I was only trying to look up a book on the computer index. I meant no harm.
