This is Gale's "Funny you should ask ..." question of the week. Every Monday, they e-mail subscribers a new question submitted by libraries all over the country. If you want to start your week with a smile, you can subscribe at

And if you have a question to submit, there is a link to do that on the weekly e-mail.
