I’m walking past a door. This door says “STAFF ONLY”, has a hole where a knob used to be, and there’s some kind of beige curtain on the other side of the glass so there’s nothing to see on the other side.
Two patrons are looking at the door, gawking.
Patron 1: I wonder where it goes!
Patron 2: It’s probably some super secret librarian business stuff.
Me, in a creepy voice: Ahh, ya wanna know about the secret door, do ya?
Patrons: YES
Me, in a creepier voice: I know allllll about the secret door
Patrons: TELL US ABOUT THE SECRET DOOR
Me, in the creepiest voice: My friends, that kind of knowledge comes at a price. Are you sure you-
Patrons: WE HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT THE SECRET DOOR
Me, in my normal voice: Oh ok. It goes to a public meeting room and after some renovating they put some bookshelves on the other side, so it won’t open anymore.
Patrons: what
Me: Yeah, see, but they didn’t remove the door and put a wall there so they just slapped a “STAFF ONLY” sign on it.
Patrons: but
Me: The price you pay for this knowledge is that the door is no longer exciting.
Patrons: We did not foresee this
Me: Few do.
