This happen to my cw (cw1). I'm c/p from facebook, changing names of course. Also, I think this goes somewhere else, just not sure where to put it.
CW1: and the award for most offensive question of the day (phoned in to the library) goes to the gentleman who wanted to find out about "chubby chasers." And I quote: "Can you find me a website that explains that? What could possibly make a little skinny person be attracted to a big fat person?" Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

friend 1 oh wow!! Did you hang up?? ; )
friend 2: that's kind of hilarious
friend 3: It is as if you get paid to take crank calls...seriously, I am going to call my library and see if they have a similar service...I shake my head. People are lonely, I guess.
Librarian at another library 1: Thats the type I make up answers for.
"Well, its been documented that too much exposure to LCD screens and other visual spectra can stimulate part of the brain that effects judgement, especially as it pertains to sexual desirability. One s...tudy found that occasionally knocking a piece of wood against your head can prevent this from occurring. Literature refers to it as a 'Clue by Four'."

CW2: That's disturbing!
friend 4: Good one librarian from another library 1.!!!
Libraian from another library 2: I would have recommended a thorough examination of the section on psych disorders.
cw 1:@friend 3--I'm not the only one getting these calls. I'm just one of the few that thinks..."Hmmm. This is a good one to put up on Facebook." and laughs it off.
@ friend 1--I didn't hang up (though I was sorely tempted). I found him a wikipedia article on fat fetishisms. He seemed satisfied and said, laughing, he would call back if he gained insight on the matter.
Librarian at another library 1--you crack me up! I really think you should be working some Telephone Reference just so you have opportunity to hone your mad skills at comebacks. Can I call you at the (y) Branch next time I need a good comeback, while a customer is on hold?
CW 2 Everyone is someone's fetish. You just have to find your user group.
friend 5: The beauty of the internet, CW2.
CW2 @friend 5: Oh, I found my user group. Right,(husband)? *smack* I SAID Right, (husband)?
Librarian at another library 1: When I was at (x library), we used to have a guy who called and asked deliberately vague questions about masturbation. He was obviously in the 30-40 range, but he always claimed that he was a teenager and had questions. Specifically, was it dan...gerous.
I answered him as best I could once, and then when I got him on the phone (he called about once a week), I just repeated over and over again, "Gosh, I'm not sure, you should call a dr.". Eventually whenever he got me, he would hang up or demand to speak to someone else.
My tactic was just to be as boring as possible and repeat my answer till he went away.
And I'd rather not take those calls M
friend 6: Maybe he was chubby himself and wanted to be chased, maybe he was looking for tips.
freind 7: Oh. My. God. How did this not come up earlier?
CW1: @ friend 7--You were entertainment enough, my dear. I was too distracted by your silliness to mention it.
friend 8: you should've said, "Go ask your wife."
