Overheard in New York, etc.

So, there's this little site ( http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ ) that I love to visit every few often for some laughs. I love NYC and I've visited around 10 times, the last time being Christmas of 2005/New Year's 2006. I used to think the stuff found on this website was too good to be true, until this exchange I had with a homeless man outside the National History Museum during my last visit:

******

Homeless man: "Excuse me, sir, would you like to make a donation to the United Negro Pizza Fund?"

Me: *chuckling* "I'm sorry, man, I don't have anything."

Homeless man: "You cannot give what you do not have!" *shuffles away*

******

I'm going back there for the same season this year. Can't wait!

So, anybody have some "overheard" bits from either NYC or their own city?

I just heard some really loud thunder outside my house.

I'm not sure how your "story" carries anything that makes it characteristically New York or even interesting.

Well, it started with the overheardinnewyork.com website and I used a NYC example but tangeted (sp?) off into just asking abour random humorous stuff people (i.e. Chewers) have overheard in their daily lives. Thus the "etc." in the thread title and "either NYC or their own city".

I'm sorry if my thread for some reason put you in a pissy mood or heightened an already pissy mood you might have been in.

The United Negro Pizza Fund has been going around for a few years now- I've heard more than a couple of people use that line. Usually around McDougal street for some reason.

About a year ago I was at a Friendly's in Cambridge with a friend of mine. There was a guy chatting with the cashier and just as our waitress brings us our ice cream, I hear the guy say this in a very laid back manner:

"So... I'm just never gonna flush again."

Then he just sort of strolled out the door. It never seems to sound that funny when I tell people about it, but it was honestly one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.

This one made me laugh:

Man selling kitchen knives: Would you like to buy some knives?
Lady: That's a really stupid thing you're doing -- walking around on a moving train with knives. It's dangerous!
Man selling kitchen knives: Well, maybe you're a fucking bitch!

I heard a fantastic freestyle street Yo Mama battle between two 10-year-olds a few months back. This one kid was obviously struggling:

"Yo mama is so (pauses for ages to think) TALL (long pause) that when she (long pause) does a FLIP (very long pause) she kicks your father in the BALLS."

And last week I was sitting behind a girl on the bus who was reading a John Stamos interview in a magazine for literally TWENTY MINUTES. I have wept for her every night since.
