Borrow a Person
A Swedish Library project that allows you to "borrow" a real live human being rather than a book to provide some useful insight.

There's a lot of people I'd like to talk to for 45 minutes. But I think most of them would lie to me the entire time.

I am probably going to have to think about this for a while ... there are few classes/types of people that I haven't had face-to-face contact with. Non-crazy varieties might be interesting, though.

That's gonna severely diminish the available pool of choices, isn't it?

What were the Swedish folk thinking? One of them will end up hurt, regardless whether it's in the library or not.

That makes the Swedish kind of like the Danes, Hypno Toad.
Although, probably anyone that agrees to be "borrowed", may not be typical of the group they purport to represent.

Could you borrow them then get them to fix your car and mow your lawn? After all, no-one checks whether you actually read library books or use them to prop up the wobbly table. I wonder what the overdue fines are?

Can't really think of anyone I'd like to borrow for 45 minutes. Unless we can use that time to talk some sense into them, in which case I'll start with a homophobe and work my way through the intolerance shelves

A female porn star, a former president of the US, a CIA agent, a Kennedy assassination conspirator...

I would like to borrow someone from the past, not the present. I would love to talk to my youngest sister. This May she will have been gone for 10 years.
Other than that, I would like to borrow (in no particular order): Peter Gabriel, Danny Elfman, a zookeeper, and an ichthyologist. |
