|
|
I thought it would be fun to start a topic about all the silly things one hears while in a checkout line at the grocery store or just about anywhere. Those little bits of conversation that we hear, but not in the full context, that make no sense, the one's that make you go: HUH?
Please try to limit it to the quotes heard and not the whole scene. So here is the first one from me.

Overheard in a clinic waiting room:
Lady to Man: "Gee, I Hope she doesn't tell you it's some sort of flesh-eating bacteria."
Man: "I hope not; I have to be back at work in an hour."
Great thread idea Jinster!  |

At a store tonight as I wondered about.
LADY 1: "Johnny will love it."
LADY 2: "What?"
LADY 1: "The game I am buying him for Christmas."
LADY 2: "Which game is it, maybe (my son?) Kevin will like it."
LADY 1: "I don't remember, it's just a game, but he will love it."
LADY 2: "Oh!!!!!"
Badda-boom. Talk about witnessing the 'idea' light-bulb bursting in mid-aisle. So it goes. |

DARNED-TERM MEMORY, I'm so forgetful anymore, I know I've heard some doozies that would fit perfectly in this thread...BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THEM TO SAVE MY LIFE. And I never thought I would be using that phrase, but there it is, and it is so true. I will try to remember some of them, not sure how much luck I'll have....  |

At my coffeehouse this evening before a private knitting group event intending to make Christmas balls was to start.
"She doesn't know how to make rum balls. She's sooo out of the knitting group now." |
