Obviously centered on New York City, also obviously centered on dumbasses and other assorted yahoos.
Beautiful.
Victory through redefinition!
Stupid, drunk, and horny is a hell of a way to go through life.
The Wholesome Pervert
God killed a couple lexemes for that one.
TRA- FUCK YOU!
Here’s one that I remember from the New York Times regular column, Metropolitan Diary.
Overheard on a bus, two twenty-something girls having a discussion about Woody Allen’s musical, “Every One Says I Love You”.
Girl 1: What movie did you see last night?
Girl 2: “Everyone Says I Love You”.
Girl 1: How was it?
Girl 2: It was okay, but a little strange. Every now and then the actors would just start singing to each other.
Ahem. Dumbasses NY has in certain quantities, but yahoos we have not (a working definition of yahoo being “someone from out of town”).
Here’s one I overheard on a bus journey in Oxfordshire:
Old Lady #1: 'Ello Enid, still got that sore throat?
Old Lady #2: Not any more Mabel, the doctor put me on them anti-garrotics.
Dad: I’m not sleeping with the nanny.
Son: Right, and I totally did not sleep with my fourth step-mommy.
Teen boy: I know, all she does is complain about how none of her clothes fit her anymore.
Teen girl: Well, didn’t anyone warn her?
Teen boy: About what?
Teen girl: That when you are sixteen and pregnant, you get fat.
Conductor on speaker: We will be stopping in this station for an unspecified amount of time due to our hour delay. There is no scheduled departure time for this train. Once the maintenance is finished we will be departing unannounced. I repeat, we will be leaving unannounced. So if you do decide to step off the train, remember: the train didn’t leave you–you left the train.
–Amtrak train Penn Station
AirTran flight attendant over intercom: We hope you ladies and gentlemen had a nice flight, and we ask that you all press your faces against the windows so Delta can see what a full flight looks like.
Flight Attendant: Thank you for flying US Airways, and have a happy… happy… what the hell holiday is this? Columbus? Psssh, that ain’t no holiday. Have a good week!
Pilot flying into LaGuardia: If you look out the right side of the plane, you can see the beautiful, famous downtown skyline of Manhattan. [Pause.] And if you look out the left side… [pause, sighing] New Jersey.
Ahhh, Amtrak. They work hard to make things run right, I know, but every now and then you see someone working extra hard to inconvenience the passenger. (I suppose if you’d gotten in his face about it, he’d have said it was for homeland security purposes.)
BTW, Why, congrats on 7000 posts in not even 2 1/2 years. You may be even more no-life-having than I with my paltry 5000 in just two. 
Stay at home moms used to lounge around all day eating bon bons and watching daytime television, I hear.
I don’t like daytime television.
Overheard in 2005 in the Wal-Mart in my town:
Guy 1: Hey, you know that new pope, Benedict?
Guy 2: Yeah, what about him?
Guy 1, in an outraged tone of voice: Benedict isn’t his real name!
:eek:
My husband overheard this conversation in Wal-Mart.
Teen Girl 1: “Did you put yours in your butt?”
Teen Girl 2: “Of course!”
Then they both started giggling.
I’ve been reading those sites for the last year or so – they’re awesome. Overheard in the Office and Overheard at the Beach are sister sites. Great sites to relieve some stress, especially for cubicle farmers. 
Also worth a look is Overheard in Dublin. More or less what Overheard in New York would be like if New Yorkers did nothing but drink and ride buses.
Nonsense – it’s closer to “someone who has never read any Swift,” and even New York has those.
