The Blog | Bill Maher: New Rule: We Don't Need Drug Tests for Librarians | The Huffington Post:

Last year, Florida's Levy County introduced drug testing for library volunteers. Whose average age is between 60 and 85. The volunteers were required to drive to another city - Gainesville - and urinate in a cup "within hearing distance" of a laboratory monitor. That'll teach 'em for offering to work for free. "Okay, grandma, now get pissing. And I'd better hear a nice even unbroken stream."

And then something weird happened. Inexplicably, the number of volunteers dropped from 55 to two. It's almost like they didn't enjoy being degraded. And they call themselves the greatest generation.

The day my boss tells me to go pee in a cup to keep my job, is the day I quit. There are enough jobs for cataloguing librarians that won't make me do that, that I could find something else, should I want to.

I'm glad the old people quit. Maybe it'll send the right message to the idiots who wanted them tested in the first place.
