When I was a librarian in West Virginia, our clever boss liked to promote the motto "We Can Answer Any Question". He would get this in the local paper periodically, and people would call in, excited, and ask what they hoped would be a real stumper in response to the article. Luckily, 99% of the time they asked easy questions. He also had a sign on the reference desk that read "Please Bother Me". I am pretty sure he got a different response to this sign from the female customers than the rest of us, who were mostly young women, got from the gentlemen about town.
