Two Old Ladies and a Book Club

Two elderly ladies walk up to the reference desk, "Could you please show me where the book club kits are?"

I escort the women to the shelf with more than 30 kits and explain that each kit has 10 books and a manual with discussion questions, author information, and a sign-out sheet. I ask, "How many people do you have in your book club?"

First woman says, "About 7 or 8. Who knows how many we'll have by the meeting. They seem to be dropping like flies."

Second woman says, "Dying or quitting."

First woman says to second woman, "Dying. We lost one a few weeks ago. Do you want her spot?"
