Kevin is attracted to girls who wear glasses. He is also attracted to librarians. He is asking Pam to pretend to be a librarian (by saying "these are due back Thursday") in order to increase the attraction he is feeling.

Hi CalifJim,

"These are due back Thursday" - If today is Saturday, does that mean these books are 2-day late. That is to say the man should have returned the books on Thursday, not today 'Saturday'?

Thanks
