I guess there really is just a limit to how gay one can be.

Mom, to teenage son: Darling, sweetie, love of my life, I've accept that you're gay, haven't I? And there's a lot more that I'm willing to accept. But if there's one thing I'm not ok with, it's flat-ironing my son's hair. Ask your sister.

--Uptown 6 train

God bless Overheard in New York.

Chick: I'm no whore. I told him, the closest you're getting to getting me from behind, you know, doggie style, is licking your own balls and humping my leg.

this wasnt overheard, but something i saw this morning on the 2 train

a fat girl in jeans waaaayyyyyyy toooo tight, & she was leaning backwards against the pole in the center of the car. she had one butt cheek on each side of the pole, & was absentmindedly sliding her butt up & down the pole.

i wasnt the only one gawking.

usually the things i overhear on the subway make me sick & sad for the human race, but today i heard something that gave me hope.

it was a mother her young daughter acting out scenes from mel brooks' SPACEBALLS.

i thought "that lady has raised her child right!"

Nothing useful to add, but I f-ing love this website! Definitely gets me through many a day at the office. One of my favorites:
Litte girl: "Ew, daddy, it smells like Jersey in here!"
Dad: "I know, sweetie"
