[OPLINLIST] Blackout humor

[Mann, James H.]

NEW YORK (Aug. 14) - A huge power blackout hit U.S. cities spreading
from New York to Cleveland and Detroit and north into Canada Thursday
afternoon.
 
In New York City, the blackout had a significant effect on the public
library.
 
None of the Internet terminals or other computers in the New York
Library system were functioning, but the novels and non-fiction books
somehow remained operational, according to patrons on the scene.  Older
reference librarians were able to switch to print sources in order to
maintain services, preventing any disruption.  Seekers of pornography
crowded the reference desks asking for help and were referred to a list
of bawdy novels and assorted men's magazines.
