Overheard and Shoutouts: June 9, 2017

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?

“I’m not that much of a communist…I know you think I am, but I’m not.”

“What kind of pathetic life had you lived to be reincarnated as a Mayfly?”

“I can smell your urgency.”

“That’s what size I use when I’m nervous.”

“I’m not a fan of sunsets but that was pretty great.”

“It’s an agnostic Christmas in June!”

“Ok kids, look over here. Now everyone say ‘hot exotic dancers!’”

SHOUT OUTS

Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?
