…so I figured what the heck, when am I ever going to get such a good deal on peanut butter again?

I love these little surreal snippets of overheard conversation. I once walked into a conversation at a party just as the person talking said:

> [@](#):
>
> **…and I looked down, and there was a small chocolate-covered graham cracker between my toes…**

I don’t know what that was about, as none of them would repeat the earlier part of the story.

But even that gets topped by the snippet overheard by a friend of mine upon walking past a classroom:

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*…and if you shoot soap up into it, your arm will explode!

\*\*If anyone has any ideas what the hell that one was about, please let me know.
