Eavesdrop DC wishes to remind you to send in your New Year's Eve eavesdrops (if you were sober enough to remember anything you heard).

Overheard in Giant near Tyson's on New Year's Eve:

Loudspeaker: "Will the person who took the empty cart at the front of the store with the cane inside please return it? The person needs the cane."

[Two minutes later]

Loudspeaker: "The cane is at the Desk. Will the person who needs the cane please pick it up?"

[Two minutes later]

Loudspeaker: "The person who needs the cane is in Meat. Please bring the cane to the person."
