A museum opened a quiet room for visitors who needed a break. On the first day, the attendant found a man standing in the doorway, reading the sign.
“Is this where I’m supposed to be quiet?” he whispered.
“Inside, yes,” she said.
He entered, sat down, and took a notebook from his pocket. After five minutes he beckoned her over.
“Can I ask a question out there?”
They stepped into the corridor. “What is it?” she asked.
“Where is the exhibit?”
“This is a place to rest.”
“Oh,” he said. “I’ve been taking notes on the empty chair.”
