Fortunately the card was usually cheap.

Some US libraries have a reprint fee if you lose it. But I have never seen a library that charges for the initial card.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The entire showerthought must be in the title
Posts must be original/unique
