Friday Funny



A patron just related the following to me.   She called the
City of Pensacola planning department to ask about the
history (development, street names, etc.) of a major
subdivision of this city.   She said that the girl on the
telephone said "We don't keep any of these things, we
archive them since 1995."

So my patron asked where the materials would be that
would be older than 1995....the person on the phone said
"Ma'am, I don't know, no one in this office was working
here before 1995."

So my patron asked if they could another place where she
might find the older records....there was a mumbled "Just
a minute,"  ...the click of the phone being put down, and
finally the woman came back and said "Try the UWF
Historical Society."
