Over heard on the corner of North Capitol and First St. NE

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Background: Two people standing on the corner one appears to be a man and one a woman. As you get closer you realize from the voices they are both women. They both are shady characters. The woman that looks like a man starts talking to this guy who is trying to hail a cab.

Woman that looks like a man: Hello sir

Guy: Hello

Woman who looks like a man: Do you have, I mean Merry Christmas

Guy: Merry Christmas to you too

Woman who looks like a man: Well do you happen to have 73 cents

Guy: No I do not

Woman who looks like a man: Well, will you pray for us anyway

Overheard on a train in the DC Metro on Saturday Night (12/12/09):

Two guys in Santa outfits talking to each other:

"Where are we going to say we're from when the north pole melts?"
"I dunno... Queens or something"

A few minutes later:

Random bystander: "Why are you taking the subway?"
One of the Santas: "Santa didn't get any TARP money and his reindeer
were repossessed"

It's a hard knock life

In line at a DC grocery store, 2 pm on a weekend.

customer #1 (older femaler): "yeah, he just got like 12 years, but I told him we'd make it, just like last time."

customer #2 (younger female): "I know, its like i told my boyfriend when he went away for 5, 'i'll be waiting when you get out.' That's what good women do."

He he he. Balls are funny.

"Welllll, technically they are the same, but we aren't in either one."
