An actual snippet of dialoge between two cheerleaders

Posted: 6/28/05 at 11:04pm

This is not a joke.

(Cheerleaders are at salad bar. Cheerleader A leans over and bumps her ponytailed head into the sneeze guard)

Cheerleader A: Ow! I think I hit my head on something!

Cheerleader B: Ohmygod! Do you think it's like, this plastic thing?

A: I don't know! Why is it here?

B: Maybe to like, keep us from falling in or something?

(long silence as they think and hold up the line)

My friend (who witnessed this incident): *poke* Are you guys going to go?

Cheerleader A: Oh yeah!

(They walk away)

And that, kids, is where stereotypes come from.

If this was overheard in nyc, you should post it on www.overheardinnewyork.com

Its a fun site.

I'm going to look at that site. But no, this was overheard while I was at creative writing camp and said cheerleaders were at cheerleading camp (held in the same place). And they really outnumbered us and got to all the desert before we could.

Oh, dear god. For the longest time, I had to think about this. At first, I didn't know what a sneeze guard was. For some reason, I pictured them just sitting at a bar. ( I totally disregarded the "salad" part). And I'm thinking to myself, 'What the hell is a sneeze bar?'


But now that I read it, it's pretty funny. I probably would've been peeing my pants if I read the "salad" part...

I'd call it 'lack of brilliance' myself, Emcee.

Aigoo, a cheerleader in a bar is even more dangerous. Without a sneeze guard and with alcohol they are guaranteed to fall in.

See, but their lack of brilliance is, in itself, brilliant. In terms of humor, anyway.

And I had no idea what a sneeze guard was either. But I'm sleepy.

I wonder how guarded that salad really is.. unless you sneeze directly onto the plastic guard... I mean, I'm sure air currents can carry the germs under the guard.

I think too much.

Why is it called a 'sneeze guard' anyway?
It's not guarding the sneezes.
It's guarding from the sneezes.
Shouldn't it be called a 'salad guard'?
Because, if a guard is protecting a king from, say, killer wombats, he would be called the King's Guard, not the Wombat Guard.
You name after the thing that needs guarding.

I need some water.

Priest, that made my night. But I like wombats.

I was going to argue that point, Priest... but went with my other point instead.

I'm not entirely sure I even know what a wombat really is.

Priest, that sort of made my head hurt. And wombats are cute. As is your photo, as always.

I always thougth it was the offspring of a wom and a bat.

Not sure what a wom is though....

I was soooo wrong. This is a toy wombat.

Wombats are cute and live in Australia. And nobody needs to guard anything from them. Does that make Priest entirely wrong?

"And nobody needs to guard anything from them."

How do you know?
They might want to inhabit the King's garden and the King can't let them due to his fatal allergy to Wombats.

no, he's right.. It should be called a salad guard.

This thread is great...

And now I finally know what a wombat looks like.

My older sister and mom hate those sunglasses, though.
