Overheard

A thread inspired by Overheard in New York for those amusing snippets of conversation we hear. I'll start. Middle-aged man in Boston College cap - "There was no such thing as hooking-up when I was a kid. It was more like, 'Marry me and maybe I'll give you a blow-job.'"

Guy #1 My girlfriend said she'll do anything but sex. Guy #2 Nice! That's what I'm talking 'bout....butt sex

To clean this up a little, here's one I heard years ago -- 80s -- on a New York City bus. Two nine-year-old boys. First boy: I don't understand why they call him the Six Million Dollar Man. I mean, those parts couldn't have cost more than a million dollars. Second boy: Yeah, but the scientists had to eat while they were making him.

Woman exiting library: "I don't have the time to be gracious right now." (Personally I thought graciousness was a quality you have or don't have not something that requires putting in time).

Anyone can be gracious, given enough time. Look at "Groundhog Day."

Check out girl at supermarket, to lady in line in front of me: "Are these lemons or limes?"

Didn't we have a thread like this before the board crashed? Can someone find it and rekindle it? There was some good stuff in there. Later

I guess the thing to do is overhear stuff and report it here, so we can start another good one

Two women, engaged in relationship-talk. "I think sex should be very mutual."

From Overheard in New York: Hence the Baseball Tickets Guy #1: Before I forget, I got four Yankee tickets for us tomorrow night. I'm gonna bring my father. Guy #2: Did you get these tickets from a scalper? Guy #1: Yeah. Guy #2: Well, the Yankees don't play in December. Neither does any other team. Baseball season ended almost two months ago, dumbass. You got fuckin duped. How much did you pay for these? Guy #1: Ah, shit. Like a hundred bucks. Guy #2: Dumbass. Guy #1: Then why did my father ask me to get tickets for tomorrow night's game if they're not even playing? Guy #2: I don't know. He's probably a dumbass like you. You're a whole family of dumbasses. --Starbucks, 42nd & Broadway

Edgy, what would you expect? They're Yankee fans, but maybe not the "fair weather" kind. Its cold out there. Looking at the glass half full, betcha' there isn't a big line at the concession stand. Later

Teenage boy to another teenage boy - My brother says go for short girls, they're the best!

(at a supermarket): "Instead of having junk food after dinner let's get these chocolate puddings"

Exchange between my coworker Hanna (who has probably taken 10000 telephone orders) and a sweet little old man on the phone--- Hanna: And the number on your credit card? SLOldMan: Are you ready? It's pretty long

My friend's girlfriend to him: How do you cook pasta? I just burned my last batch.

Yancy Street Gang Jan 11 2006 09:23 AM

It's easy when cooking pasta to forget to add the boiling water. And Hanna could use another H on the end of her name. I'd hate to go through life with my name almost being a palindrome.

Frayed Knot Jan 11 2006 10:11 AM

"I'd hate to go through life with my name almost being a palindrome." Robb Nen disagrees I mean, if that were your name wouldn't you call yourself Bob just to achieve the double palindrome thingie?

Overheard from TV, but it was reality TV, and a great line. From Rollergirls: "I don't have a problem with authority, I just have a problem with people telling me what to do."
