Overheard in Passing

[WhoRadley]

I think we can all assume that the movie was Blumpkins.

"Isn't it funny how guys named William call themselves Bill? I've always thought that was weird."

[Harry B]

Guy and a girl at a streetcar stop.

Guy: Tawny Kitaen got arrested for DUI, eh?

Girl: Who's that?

Guy: She's the chick in that Whitesnake video.

Girl: Oh, her. I always thought she was kinda skanky.

(pause)

Guy: Uh, yeah. Whitesnake fans don't wanna see Audrey Hepburn grindin' on a camaro.

Lady on cell phone, in Harmon Beauty Supply: "This is what you do. Go BACK to the jail and tell them you need a bus voucher! They are SUPPOSED to give you..." fade out.

[Cupid Stunt]

Two girls having a conversation on a bench on my campus.

Girl: "Well, see, like, I'm mexican, so..."

Woman in Restaurant

[JPSpaulding]

"I'm at work"

[smartbunny]

In a NJ hot dog place:

Worker: "May I help you?"

Curmudgeony old Workin' Joe: "I DON'T KNOW!* Gimme 2 hot dogs..."

Worker: "Would you like fries with that?"

Curmudgeony old Workin' Joe: "I DON'T KNOW! Yeah OK."

Worker: "Something to drink?"

Curmudgeony old Workin' Joe: "I DON'T KNOW! Yeah gimme a Coke, there."

Me: "Ha!"

*every "I DON'T KNOW!" was said in an exasperated way like the man REALLY did not know. Not like, "I dunno" in a casual off-the-cuff way.

A liquor store. Customer to employee:

"Do you have any red wine that's good to drink in a bath tub?"

[isoS]

Employee:

"You mean while you're taking a bath or to fill the bath with and drink out of like a trough?"

[CaptainBreakfast]

Customer:

"Both"

[crimestick]

Employee:

"OK, right this way."

[Gene George]

Is this what Google Wave is like?

[Harry B]

A guys standing at a streetcar stop. On the bus shelter is a poster for the new Bruce Willis movie Surrogates that features a hot lady split in half to reveal her robotic spine. Guy looks at poster for a minute, then to no one in particular:

"Whatever, I'd still fuck her."

[KeithTalent]

Paying for a speeding ticket, the guy behind the cashier's plexiglass (50s, white, rotund) was speaking fairly loudly with his coworker several stations down (40s, black, female)

Guy: "You thought all lesbians were white?"
Gal: "That's what I said!"
Guy: "Well that's not true darlin'. Not even close."
Gal: (laughs) "Yeah I guess not!"

As I walked away I heard something about a haircut.

Overheard at the urinals of a movie theater men's room (a true "Overheard in Pissing"):

Guy 1: "Oh man, did I tell you my fucking fish bit my finger?"
Guy 2: "What the fuck was your finger doing in the fish tank?"
Guy 1: "I was fucking feeding him and I didn't realize that my pinky was in the water. Look at those red marks. (Pause) Hey you know what that is?"
Guy 2: "What?"
Guy 1: "Biting the hand that feeds you! (Laughs uproariously like this is the funniest thing he's ever thought of) I just thought of that, I swear to god!"

[nathansmart]

it's actually a funny thing to say, but it didn't need all the swearing to god

[Harry B]

A man and woman walking down the street together.

Woman: Frankly, I think you just like saying sodomy.

[isoS]

We might eventually have to change the name of this thread to "Harry leads a most interesting life!"

[Harry B]

We might eventually have to change the name of this thread to "Harry leads a most interesting life!"

I'd suggest "Harry Lives in an Most Interesting Neighbourhood."

Parkdale represent!

Oh, and I was thinking about the sodomy quote and came to the conclusion that the guy was likely talking about Roman Polanski and she was accusing him of using it as an excuse to repeat the word sodomy.
