Library of Congress classification system jokes.

Everyone who works in libraries or knows sections well always makes jokes about the two-letter macro-codes in the Library of Congress classification system.

The one I've always heard is "BS," which is biblical studies, and which leads to obvious jokes.

What about all the other codes, though?

For example, "BM."

Also - and I only realized this recently - "DP."

"DP" seems to be something with the Spanish Civil War, and so I guess I need to make up some joke about Franco or slutty Spaniards or something.
