Comic relief
One of my favorite blogs is Overheard in New York, which is just what is sounds like. People sharing the bizarre and ridiculous things they overhear on the subway, walking down Fifth Avenue, and other places they cram themselves into as part of everyday life in the ci-tay. B.O. is the least of their problems, let me tell you. Even if you have never been to the Big Apple you will still chuckle.
This tidbit was overheard at Jungle World in the Bronx Zoo.
Ghetto girl: Hey, look! What's that? I think it's an egg!
Friend: What the hell?! What's wrong with you? Monkeys don't lay eggs!
Ghetto girl: ... Well, how was I supposed to know that?!
Okay, so some people are just stupid. Others are motivated by deadline, according to this exchange overheard in Grand Central Station.
Bible-thumping lady: Get your Bible! We only have approximately five years left!
Passerby: Five years! Fuck! I gotta get movin'!
