(Entirely unrelated: but I feel you might enjoy this joke & I feel compelled to use this platform….sorry….At a bookstore or at a library — choose yer setting at will–
customer requests to be directed to the Self-Help/ Psychology Books Section.
The staff member of the store or library’s response: “Don’t you think you should figure that out, for yourself???”)

[and because I can't help being The Editor, I'm going to take the liberty to rephrase... The staffer looks at the customer, raises a meaningful eyebrow, and says "Where do YOU think it is?" - Ed.]

[Because the downstairs "kitchen" consists of a mini-fridge with three Diet Cokes and an old microwave with instant popcorn pouches. - Ed.]
