[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 494864, member: 11791"] Lent books are a bit like lost umbrellas. Everybody knows it isn't theirs but can't figure out who it belongs to. Maybe we should try a book version of the "lost umbrella project"? If you haven't heard that one... A fellow in a major metropolis got tired of losing his umbrellas. So, he started putting his name and phone number on them, but nobody ever called to report a lost umbrella. Then, he changed his little tag to say: "Hi. I'm a lost umbrella. If you have found me and want to use me, please send $1 to... <insert name and address> with a note that this is for umbrella number X, and keep me as your own." He made a small fortune on umbrella rentals. Sometimes, he got paid for the same umbrella three times in one week. And once in a while, he'd find an umbrella... and it would be one of his. [/QUOTE]
