Introducing the book

[jadesfire]

For all the librarians on my friends-list (and there's quite a few of you!) and all of you who love books, this should be compulsory viewing.

Inspired.

i am now weeping with laughter and cannot breathe. It was the not being able to open the book from the spine that killed me, but the whole thing is just hilarious!

Thank you so much for that.

You're welcome :D Be careful not to fall off anything! vertigo + hysteria doesn't sound like a cunning plan, and I don't want to be held responsible ;)

Yes, this is hilarious...terrified of turning the page for fear of losing the text, and not being able to open it from the spine side. The little helpdesk man is just utter win, thank you for this.

I think my favourite bit was the "I got that far on my own!" - I've said that waaay too many times :)

This actually made it onto the news in its country of origin (?Norway?) Books are news. Excellent :)

Oh my. That is hilarious. That'll be revisted often. It's nice to know that my pain is felt across the centuries and the world over. My favorite part is the "book (mispronounced)" caption. No clue why.

I just wish I spoke Norwegian! I think I had someone like that in here earlier... ;)

I've had the same problem myself, only with me it's trying to explain computers. ("No, no, you DOUBLE click on an icon - yes, that's an icon.") At work today, I had to set the date and time on my boss's mobile, because he didn't know how to.

*facepalm* Because, you know, mobiles are so new and scary... Just think what'll happen when everyone has to have Vista... ;)

*grin* I'm not getting Vista until they bring out its first service pack, just to make sure the worst of the bugs are fixed.

Brilliance, sheer brilliance. I'm going over to my journal now and pointing it to this. :)
