Patron comes up to me and asks for a library card, and it sounds like a typical interaction. While I’m typing their information into the computer, he starts telling me all about why he’s here in Philly from Pottstown: He’s researching a series of riots in Philly from 1969 (I think). This person is a pastor at a church in Pottstown, and they says to me…
Patron: …and, you know, the pastor who helped instigate these riots was actually the pastor at the same church where I’m working now! Isn’t it odd how the Church would get involved in such violence?
Me: …is it?
Patron: Okay, okay, so, Crusades and Inquisition aside…
Me, internally: Uh
Me, externally: Haha fair enough have a good day
