Re: strange reference questions
My favorite was the man calling the Sacramento Archives and Museum
Collection Center to get a copy of his DUI court records. I knew we didn't
have them, since the court records we had were through 1945, but I asked him
anyway, "when was your DUI?" so that I could direct him to the correct
County Court phone number. He said, "A long time ago." I said, "Well, how
long ago?" He said, "Back in the day." Turns out, "back in the day" is
officially about 1983.
