WTF? |Overheard in New York
"They said what?" will pop out of your mouth as you read the humor blog OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK (and its equally amusing counterparts OVERHEARD IN THE OFFICE and OVERHEARD ON THE BEACH). The blog documents snippets of conversation heard by chance--or on purpose--by passerbys in NYC. The people who are quoted are labeled "hipster" or "suit" or "hobo" or "drunk girl"--you know, just to clarify the context of the conversation a bit. For a taste:
Stoner: I'm telling you, they need another statue!
Friend #1: Why?
Stoner: Because when the apocalypse comes and there's all the radiation, the Statue of Liberty is going to come to life!
Friend #2: So?
Stoner: Sooo, she's going to need someone to get it on with!
(Overheard at Morton & Hudson, West Village)

More from OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK:
Girl #1: Oh my god, John! You have to join our theater company that we're starting.
Girl #2: It's called 'Four Bitches and a Toke.'
Girl #3: You're the toke.
Queer: Wait, wait... I'm the toke? I'm a bigger bitch than all four of you.
Girl #4: But you don't have a vagina!
Queer: Ohhh, trust me -- you do not have to have a vagina to be a bitch.
(4th & Ave A, Overheard by: Todd B)
Snippets from OVERHEARD IN THE OFFICE:
Partner: Call Greg and have him look over these documents.
Associate: Greg had surgery yesterday and is in the hospital. Do you want to call someone else to review them?
Partner: No, Greg can do it. It's not like he's dead.

Partner: No, call him now. It's not like he has anything better to do tonight.
