So I was having lunch with a friend yesterday, and as I was driving back to work I saw this sign that said:
GIANT BOOK SALE
I thought to myself, how discriminatory, a book sale only for giants, what normal sized people aren’t allowed?
then…Â Oh, maybe its a sale on gigantic books, the bigger the book the better, for oversized bookshelves only.
Did I invite you to my wife’s Super Bowl Party?
The gigantic books are for those who are visionally challenged due to being youth impaired. I like larger books. I forgot about the Super Bowl Party. Good one. Supper Bowl Party? Souper Bowl Party?
hey, it’s reverse discrimination. Giant books are often not found in bookstores due to the size of the shelves. There are no “Plus Size” shelves to store those books, therefore they do not have equal access to the general public. I, for one, stand and applaud those who are fighting to overcome the mistreatment of giant books and hope that one day we will all be privileged to live in a world where all books…regardless of size…will be welcomed and appreciated.
wellllll before we get too agitated.. perhaps they meant a sale on books about giants. Perhaps with all the new shows with faeries and the like, they were overstocked on the giant genres.
but then again.. what makes a book giant, thickness? length? breadth? height? And maybe they’d like to be called Plus Size” instead of GIANT or FAT, or any other adjective.
