Anon,Maleny.

I saw a quote of 'Your mind is like a parachute, it works best when it is open' up in a library as part of a larger banner.

I managed to get the last part adjusted to be 'Your mind is like a parachute, best kept for an emergency' once while the librarian was away .

It took weeks before the librarian noticed.

I'm glad she had a good sense of humour (she is retired now and no longer a library dragon - which are surely cousins to lounge dragons!).
