The guy who sits opposite me, talking on the phone to someone who had obviously just returned to work after sickness/holiday:

"Ok, I'll arrange a meeting this afternoon. I'll give you time to get your feet... back together."

In my seedy little bar parking lot.

Commotion at the door brought the security and the manager out to the parking lot. On their way out the door they yelled for the girl bartending to call the police. (it should be noted that the bartender is a really nice girl but not the fastest dog on the track)

Outside a few minutes later,

Bartender- what happened?
Security- Two girls got mugged at knifepoint!
Manager- Did you call the police?
Bartender- No.
Manager- CALL THE FUCKING POLICE!
Bartender- I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER!
Everybody- 911!!!!!

From the office of the VP of Sales, office door wide open, the other day:

"What? no, not here, meet me in the bar. Hey, bring me something for the pain. No no, the good drugs. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, knock me on my ass. None of that over the counter shit. What? No, we'll talk about the presentation there."

A voice from a group of women passing me in a hallway:
"I'm singing a Michael Bolton song in church this week."

One evil piled upon another.

Three words overheard from a conversation a few feet away. The only three words I caught, spoken by a clean-cut, young Midwestern girl. Not sure what they were talking about. Didn't want to ask.

"...a vibrating butt-plug..."

Overheard on the bus a few days ago:

With all the blood drained from their bodies.


...apparently there's somebody killing small animals in my city, from what little I gathered from the conversation.

7 year old: I can't believe I'll be 20 one day.
Me: It'll seem like forever until you are, and then it will seem like the next week you are my age.
7 year old: How old will you be when I am 20?
Me: 58
7 year old: If you live that long.
7 year old and 5-year-old brother: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha.

The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake.
