Two rather crude delights from Overheard in New York:
Man: I just don’t get it! Just last night you were complaining about how you never try anything new, but you feel like you should.Woman: Ok, well ordering the roast duck is a little different than a threesome, Tim.

Damn those faulty analogies!
Guy: I was seeing her for a while, but it just wasn’t working out. I guess I’m not over Jessica.Girl: What?
Guy: What do you mean, what?
Girl: I thought you were gay.
Guy: Oh, because I’m a hairdresser. How original. Just because I’m a hairdresser you think I’m gay.
Girl: No. I thought you were gay because when I stayed at your house four years ago I woke up and saw you fucking Matt in the ass!
Guy: Oh my God. Matt and I have never talked about that night.
