[PW] Unusual/amusing reference questions

[Frances Hammond]

I've been away so if this is too late I apologise...
 
I once had a patron request that I identify a bat - they had the book on bats but they couldn't check themselves as the bat needing identification was tatooed across the full width of their back, it appeared to be a Vampire bat!
