Can I borrow some scissors?

[al123]

Apparently not...

A north London council has apologised after a woman was refused the loan of a pair of scissors in a library because she "might stab a member of staff".

staff can't have been very sharp!

I hate the way that all this safety nonsense keeps snipping away at people's rights.

there are plenty of heavy books I could have hit her with if I wanted to

She was evidently thinking about it.

"I then asked to borrow a guillotine to cut up my leaflets but she refused again - because she said I could hit her over the head with it!"

LOL!

That's the final cut, I'm never going to a library again.

Point taken.

These puns really cut you to the quick...

Haha loving the sly jokes

 

[I get around]

In all fairness, I wouldn't hand her a pair of scissors she looks like a bit of a looney. Like not your completely mad "I put yoghurt in my bum" kind of looney but the kind who'd cut a guys **** off for cheating on her kind of looney.
