[aisle] To lend or not to lend (headphones)

[Mrs. Brunner]

We loan out large, ugly ones, and we have them leave their assignment
notebooks as collateral.  They don't forget to return the over-the-ear
versions as they can't get rid of them fast enough, and by keeping their
notebooks, I know who to track down if they forget.
Hope that helps.
