Has anyone else noticed how Eddie McGuire has suddenly become the Totally Ruthless Undisputed Master Of The World?

Time for a special anti-authoritarian entry. At the uni I work in, every day I relieve the librarian for about 20 minutes while she goes and gets her cup of coffee like the typically mousy librarian she is. Anyway, today someone walked out of the library through the alarm barrier with an unborrowed book, and the alarm went off. I called the girl back, but she looked at me and said “What are you going to do? Call the police?” The question made me think, but I can only do one thing at once - by the time I’d finished thinking she’d left. (Honestly - I can only do one thing at once, I’m that dumb. I often have to stop walking in the street to take a breath).

But what a dumb crime to specialise in - stealing library books. That’s as dumb as specialising in robbing Coke machines. If you wanted to get serious, you should specialise in real stupid crimes, like selling your body, using crack, suicide, and incest.
