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?

“Oh look…corn!”
“Ow! That hurt. I didn’t think there were nerves in your weenus.”
“He got hammered. Well, half-hammeredish.”
“I’ve had my phone on silent for over two-and-a-half years now!”
“A thumb in a vise can make anyone agree to anything.”
“The nuts on that tree!”

A pat on the back to The Washington Post for their investigative reporting in “Frigid offices, freezing women, oblivious men: An air-conditioning investigation” (July 23, 2015). It’s a great article to reference in any air conditioning-related debate.
