The now-legendary Captain Sullenberger, who famously landed a plane in the Hudson and saved everybody aboard, has one flaw.
Fortunately, it is the sort of flaw that makes saints even more endearing.
He failed to return a library book on time. The book was on the subject of professional ethics.
But, since he had a very good excuse ('the river ate it'), the library kindly waived the fees.
I have no doubt that, were these the Middle Ages, he would have become a folk saint by now. He sort of already has.

Library records can be easily falsified; everything is suspect; trust no one.
