My library has lost its virginity
I am now working in a brand-new library. Before we opened in August, there were some jokes among the staff about how long it would take before we caught students having sex in one of the study rooms.
The answer turned out to be "a little more than two months".
There may well have been students having sex before that, but this was the first couple to be naked on the floor when the night manager was doing her pre-closing sweep of the building.
Our admin assistant said she wished she'd been there, because she could have explained to the young couple that it is not strictly necessary to remove all of your clothing before having sex, and that if one is about to get busy in a semi-public space then it's wise to remain as clothed as you can.
I am not sorry that I wasn't there, but if I had been then I at least would have been ready with the horrible pun I prepared back during the summer:
"Alright kids, break it up, this ain't the Library of CONGRESS!"
It never hurts to be ready with a horrible pun.

I miss you, Kelly.
I miss you too. ALL OF YOU!
Oh, I told this same story to a friend of mine who used to work at the Holocaust Museum in D.C. She said she once caught some teenagers making out in one of the video viewing booths.
The booths you can only reach after passing through everything else in the museum.
The museum in question being, I repeat, the HOLOCAUST Museum.
It may be that no location on earth could be sufficiently solemn, grim, disgusting, or otherwise unsexy enough to totally dampen the hormones of teenagers.
