I absolutely agree with this. How she can still have a job there is beyond me!

We should throw the book at them.

Excellent!



The real issue comes up when deciding whether to discipline them...or not.

I can imagine the conundrum of those in authority, while they're thinking.... "Dewey or Don'twe."

It's an idiom.

throw the book at someone
Fig. to charge or convict someone with as many crimes as is possible. "I made the police officer angry, so he took me to the station and threw the book at me. The judge threatened to throw the book at me if I didn't stop insulting the police officer."

Book .... Librarian
(joke)

Prosecution would be a novel if not storied solution.

I've always been a big fan...of good puns.

In fact, a good friend of mine who I've known since about 5th grade brought a 'new' game at the time (yeah, I'm old too ) over one evening to play...called 'Trivial Pursuit.'

After the bugger probably studied the entire deck for weeks and our spouses had long ago dropped out...it finally came down to him and me.

With the game on the line, he picks up the card to ask me a question, immediately jumps up...and starts stamping around the living room cursing.

After asking him multiple times what the question was, he threw the card at me and said something along the lines of... "you must have stacked the deck."

When I looked, I couldn't help but laugh at the question which was... "what is called a play on words?"

Of ALL the questions in the deck, that was one that he knew from our 15 or so years of friendship (and my constant puns)...that I would know.

"If you don't ask you do not get answers" I do have problems, and a lot of our "villagers" have similar problems but a many do not want to confront this.

There are rules in place which are considerable. When you take responsibility for using a room in the rec centers that means you must see to certain things being done and not done. Groups aren't supposed to use the rooms for money making and even the collection of dues is supposed to be carefully monitored.

The person in charge is supposed to be there early and stay late to see that chairs and tables are properly repositioned and things are fairly neat. People who do not live in The Villages are not supposed to use the rec centers except for certain support groups like AA. There are many rules governing the use of rooms including amount of people, too few or too many. If groups don't maintain a certain number they may lose their time in the room. Too many and that becomes a fire hazard.

Borrowing your theme, I believe a case could be made for said prosecution...as long as they don't find just fictional ties that bind.

The ultimate person in charge is John Rohan. If you want a copy of the rules go to a regional rec center and ask to see a copy of the rules for use of a room.
