Did I Just See That?

• Priestess of Motherhood. What I saw when I walked by the book The Price of Motherhood by Ann Crittenden.
• Postmortem Encounters: Freud. Talk about Freudian slip. What I saw while cleaning up the psychology section. The actual title? Postmodern Encounters
• Fisting for Dummies OK. I can't take credit for this one. This was a coworker (and no, he hadn't been drinking.) The actual title here was Fishing for Dummies
• Disco Bible. Yes, a friend came up to me at work and told me she thought a music book had accidentally been placed in the Bible section of the store. I looked. What she'd seen was The Discovery Bible.
• The Orgasmic Classroom. I had to do a doubletake at this one because I thought a someone had taken one of the sex books and put it in the Teacher Reference section. In actuality, the book was The Organic Classroom
• He Came To Set The Catfish Free This one was me mishearing a poor customer who was looking for the book He Came To Set The Captives Free. My first thought was, well, OK. I guess they want a humor title.
• "I didn't get my mess cleaned up in the history section because I got called a nympho." This is one of my personal favorites, because I was trying to figure out how my coworker's getting called a nympho prevented him from from cleaning up his history mess. What he'd actually SAID was, 'I didn't get my mess cleaned up....because I got called to info."
• Codependent Nose What a very overworked coworker saw when she came across a stack of Melody Beattie's Codependent No More
• I have personally seen 'Infrared Toddlers' in the place of 'Infants and Toddlers' on a shelf label. Although infrared toddlers might not be a bad idea....
• 52 Weeds In North Carolina This one is actually 52 Weekends in North Carolina. I can't say that I'd find 52 weeds as interesting as infrared toddlers. Or freeing catfish.
• "Needs sexual # programmed into system"-- a note in very poor handwriting (I swear!) that actually said, "needs serial number programmed into system"
• In The Forests Of Ham. What animalia saw every time she walked by the book In The Forests Of Harm
• Experiencing Great Pajamas or, alternately, Experiencing Great Panties. The actual title of the book is Experiencing Great Painters
• "Hey, since Luke got laid, he has to pay me $50 to work. Don't you want to keep up the tradition?" OK. What was ACTUALLY SAID HERE was..."Hey, since Luke got LEAD...." (IE, since he got his promotion...)
• "Great Paper Massage". This one was actually...."Great Paper Massacre".

OK, so are we just tired? Do we need major medication? You be the judge.
