I'm sitting in the common area of our library, waiting for a student, and up walks a librarian I know a little bit from my teaching. He's a nice guy: in the two conversations we've had, he's been friendly and helpful.
So I say hello, he sits down, we're chatting about my class, and then he says, "I was looking up your class, and I saw your photo on the department website, and I realized why you looked familiar. You were one of my matches on [online dating site] about three years ago!"
I restrain myself from going into hysterics, but only barely. "Wow!" I gasp. "What a small town!"
And then I ask him if we corresponded through said dating site. "Well, I wrote you," he says, "but I don't think you ever wrote me back."
Zing!
