I think I have discovered a new use for dustjackets.  I usually keep the
dustjackets on my books; it protects them not only from dust, but from
when I put the book down in a puddle of coffee, or something like that.
Well, one day I went to my bookshelf at work to get down a book that I
hadn't used in a while, and what do I find?  The dust jacket neatly
filling up the slot in my bookshelf, but no book!  Ripped off!  The
perfect crime!  If I hadn't gone to use the book, the theft might have
gone unnoticed until I retired.

So for all you good people wondering what to do with dust jackets: use
them to hide the evidence when you steal someone else's book.
