OVERHEARD
Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?
“Is ‘fist pump’ one word or two?”
“‘What are you doing?’ ‘Trying to avoid seeing anyone I know.’”
“Have you met any emotionally available guys in Door County? Cause I haven’t.”
“Do I have a nice belly button?”
“Whoa! That’s a whole lot of circus peanuts.”
“I’m not going to pay $50 to be a M&M!”
“She’s singing in French, how do you know it’s a run-on sentence?”
“It’s tennis, if tennis were ping pong.”
“He’s all about animals that poop not in your house.”
“The only exercise I’ve done all day is standing.”
“He needs to be de-hickified.”

PET PEEVES
Is there something that really irks you, gets your goat, rubs you the wrong way, drives you up the wall, gets you bent out of shape, puts a stick in your craw, or makes you want to throw in the towel?
