Friday Funnies
Why not go to back to New York for some more Overheard in New York, after all it's been a few weeks, these have been hanging around my files for a while, and we'll all be going there for a visit on New Year's Eve.

First, a couple with some religious undertones:

Girl #1: I believe in evolution and God.
Boy: What? That's stupid. You believe that if a monkey walked into a forest he'd walk out as a human?
Girl #2: She doesn't believe that, idiot. The monkey would have to stay in that forest for, like, 50 years for that to work!
--Elizabeth & Hester St
Guy #1: So we went to a baptism yesterday.
Guy #2: Wait, you're Catholic. Not Baptism. I'm Baptism.
Guy #1: You're Baptist.
--Times Square
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then some to prove that geography is still as challenging as it ever was- especially if you don't know it:
Guy #1: I mean, who is impressed by knowing all the state capitals? That's easy. I can name every state capital.
Guy #2: Vermont.
Guy #1: Huh?
Guy #2: What's the capital of Vermont?
Guy #1: That's not a state.
--N train
Pilot flying into LaGuardia: If you look out the right side of the plane, you can see the beautiful, famous downtown skyline of Manhattan. [Pause.] And if you look out the left side... [pause, sighing] New Jersey.
--LaGuardia

Tourist pointing far away: That's Manhattan, right?
--Observatory, Empire State Building
Tourist to her family, pointing at City Hall: I'm not sure what that building is, but I'm going to guess it's the French Embassy.
--Next to the gates outside City Hall

And one more for the road that may be its own category:
Girl: Mom, where is Viagra Falls?
--Central Park
