Heard in the street

from savagechickens.com

While on my way to the shops this morning, I passed a group of chatting women. As I went by, I caught a fragment of conversation.

"When is it?"
"Some time in October."
"You need to look really ill."

  1. I confess to loving these overheard fragments. I hope there is a compilation somewhere (website? Christmas stocking-filler novelty book?) but of course I would be plagued with fears as to their authenticity. I read of a nice one - again, chatting women - which went "...So when I get up earlier than them, I spit in all the breakfast-bowls...".

    A beauty, heard by a colleague in a Lincolnshire pub:

    "You know that bit of skin between a woman's arsehole and her fanny?"

    "Yeah"

    "Well, it's the strongest skin in the human body!"

    "No kidding?"

    "Yeah, it's so strong you can hang a twelve-stone pig from it".

  2. Mark - as a parrot.

    Sam - "...So when I get up earlier than them, I spit in all the breakfast-bowls...".

    Isn't that from the unexpurgated version of Goldilocks?
