   I remember when I was back in grade school.  I was quite
   shy around girls, even though I tried everything to be
   popular.  One day I was in the school library and I stumbled
   onto a book titled "How to Hug."  I was convinced that this 
   would solve my romantic problems.  Very excitedly I carried the
   book to the front desk, printed my name and homeroom number
   on the front flap, and was then surprised that they would only
   allow me to borrow it for one night.  I decided that this "one 
   night only" rule clearly meant that this was a great book, and so 
   I hurried home, ran upstairs to my room, and opened it to the first 
   page ... of the ninth volume of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.
