Yesterday in the library an older man had appeared to fall asleep in the reading room while reading a book. His head was down on the open book and he didn't seem to be moving, which led me to believe he might have died. When I pointed this out to the head of readers services he said, "Eh, give him another couples minutes. If he doesn't wake up I'll wake him up." "...Or you'll call an ambulance!" I added. He didn't think it was as funny as I did. In any event, after laying there for about 40 minutes the old mans wife came over, nudged him, and he went back to reading his book. No ambulances today.
