Loose Change

While I've worked at the Ref Desk I've been presented with many bizarre things that people have offered in exchange for payment of their copy fees but the most memorable has to be the day this guy came up and emptied out all of the contents of his pockets onto the desk.  Amongst the spare change, roll of Certs, and pocket lint, I noticed a small brown bottle.  Now I'm no drug expert, but I do watch a lot of crime dramas on tv and I must say that I recognized this item immediately. It was a vial full of cocaine. There it was sitting right in front of me. I couldn't believe it. I tried not to react. I don't know if the guy was already high or what but he didn't seem to notice or even mind the fact that he had just exposed his 'extracurricular activities' to the local librarian.
