Overheard

It's been a long time since I have posted anything from Overheard in New York. It has actually been because they got into a rut of a lot of off-color stuff that didn't particularly interest me.

[Note: When I just tried to go to the site from here at my favorite Caribou, it wouldn't let me go there. I guess it may have gotten too off-color for the server.]

Anyway, here are some from today and a couple from the past months that made me chuckle:

Teen boy, with a sigh: Sometimes the world just isn't as shiny as you want it to be.
--42nd St

Eight-year-old to uncle: Please don't move to Connecticut... It's too hard to spell!
--38th & 2nd Ave


Girl on cell: You live in Staten Island, that's too close to the wilderness, near the border. I am not emotionally ready to meet you in Staten Island.
--LIRR


Teen girl: Of course there were credit cards in the '50s. How else would they have gotten their money from the ATMs?
--Starbucks


Conductor: To the person who lost a roll of cash held together with a rubber band, come see me. I found the rubber band.
--A train, 59th St
