Please post funny, appalling, clever, or quotable things you've overheard! You can even overhear yourself.

Overheard in Nick's car on Thursday morning.

(Driving by a sign that said "Ontario Grown Christmas Trees!")
Nick: Where else would they be grown?
Me: India.
Nick: Really?
Me: Yeah, Ontarians are super concerned about the outsourcing of our x-mas trees.
Nick: REALLY?
Me: No. Not really.
Nick:

Yesterday afternoon I overheard this conversation between the two women working in the shop at Barber's Orchard, Waynesville, NC.

Woman #1: "You had a phone call while you were gone."

Woman #2: "Who was it?"

Woman #1: "Didn't say. Was a woman with a man voice."

Woman #2: "A man voice?"

Woman #1: "Yep."

Woman #2: "Must have been Louise. She has a man voice."

Woman #1: "You sure?"

Woman #2: "Yeah. She has a real low man voice."

Bob says:

Brandy says:
nope
It looks like someone who is trying to have a soothing earring removal experience would buy
"oh, taking my earrings off is so relaxing now that I have this tree made out of recycled metal to hang them on!"

When I was at the post office mailing some of the Holiday cards, there were two ladies were standing behind me. There were 3 associates working. Only two associates were handling outgoing packages. Both of the workers handling outgoing packages were just a chatting up a storm with their current customer.. so the two ladies behind me start talking quietly amoungst each other..

Lady 1: Shesh, they need to keep it down to business
Lady 2: I know, this is getting crazy

Finally one of the customers starts to leave, but is still talking

Lady 1: oh!! you can do it.. go on

by this time I am secretly cracking up laughing

Lady 2: Next thing you know, she will have to go to lunch and we will be here another hour.

Associate 1: (looks to associate 2 and 3) isn't it about time for her to go on her lunch.. its well after 12 o'clock.

I had to hold my laugh in at this point!

Associate 3: The line is to long right now.
Associate 1: Next person in line please..

its me and I dump out a purse load of cards and packages!!
