I love this website.
Somehow, I think this is somewhat ON-topic but I'll post it here instead.

High school girl: Um, excuse me, Frenchie? Can I get a picture with you?
Frenchie Davis: I'm sorry, I simply don't have time for this tonight. [Starts to walk away]
High school girl: Please? It's my birthday.
Frenchie, over her shoulder: Sweetheart, it's always someone's birthday. You are going to have to do better than that.

Its one of my bookmarks, its hysterical. If I'm having a lousy day, I pay a visit and I'm laughing pretty soon.
Makes me want to turn off my ipod and listen some more.

I'm going to have to remember that line. It could be used in so many situations.

"I need a kidney." "Sweetheart, someone ALWAYS needs a kidney. You are going to have to do better than that."

That was kind of mean of Frenchie! I always thought she was really sweet. That's kind of harsh!

Totally harsh.

But I would start laughing.

Then ask for a picture of Frenchie on the day of the sickest burn!

Hahaha I love Overheard in New York! I saw that Frenchie thing yesterday and laughed. It's such a great site if you're having a bad day and you just need something to make you feel better. Read other people's idiotic conversations...

Tall tourist: Hey, they just said Union Square; is that our stop?
Big-Haired tourist: Our stop is 5th Street.
Conductor: The next stop will be 8th Street.
Doe-Eyed tourist: Is that our stop?
Big-Haired tourist: Our stop is 5th Street.
New Yorker #1: There isn't a stop for 5th Street.
Big-Haired tourist: Then how do we get to Central Park?
New Yorker #2: You should get off and go the other way-- 5th Avenue.
New Yorker #3, as doors open at 8th Street: But wait until Canal. Otherwise you'll have to pay the 2 bucks to get back on the train.

Big-Haired tourist wanders off the train without his tourist counterparts.

Doe-Eyed tourist, as the doors are closing: Wait. Why did he get off?
Tall tourist, to doors: Open up.
New Yorker #2, as the train pulls away: Do you have cell phones?
Tall tourist: No, ma'am.
New Yorker #4: Well, at least his hair looked good.

This one is my most favorite Overheard:

Dumb teen: Hey, look at this! It says "Train for jobs in biotch."

Smarter teen: Fool! That word is biotech. Why you gotta be ignorant all your life?

it's still two different threads. one is the overheard in ny that craig started last year. for some reason, the overheard in ny thread started by singer did not show up in a search of the board. then someone else bumped it so i posted it on both.
