Overheard and Shout Outs: July 22, 2016

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?

“It’s not alcohol, it’s beer.”

“This is important because Uranus is involved.”

“I already have a cat. Children aren’t toys.”

“UV Blue and lemonade is so 2006.”

“Why is its tail punched into its butt??”

“Oh yeah? Well a lion peed on me!”

“You put your hand in your diaper? That’s sad. I put my hand in my diaper, too.”

“You should name your stuffed moose Mooselini.”

“The jukebox works … You just have to be aggressive about inserting your quarters.”

“When a lady’s cleaning the men’s bathroom, maybe wait a minute and let her finish before you go in.”

“I just need to meet a nice man who knows nothing about me.”
