Overheard last christmas in the high street of the small market town where I live… 4 overweight old ladies (60-70 years old) are standing outside a music store and one of them is holding a bunch of CD’s. They’re looking at the track lists and the sleeves and passing them around. Usually the 13-18 year olds do this, and to see 4 fat old ladies doing it was amusing enough, but when I walked passed them I heard one say: “No, dear, I think it’s _Japanese_ Reggae.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/overheard-conversations/198799.md?page=2)
