Re: strange reference questions



"My dog threw up in the car 3 days ago and in spite of cleaning it with
several different products, it still smells.  What can I do?" [I suggested
calling a rental car agency to ask what they do.]

"I want to know when pineapple upside down cake was invented - some time
in the 1960s I think."  [Aside from this kind of thing being hard to track
down, the patron was skeptical when I said my mother had made this and I
had eaten it in the 1940s and 1950s.  I finally called my mother and had
her chat with the patron who eventually believed it was much earlier than
she thought.]
