Once again not overheard, but:

We may need to change this blog from Overheard to Found Poetry:
Ithaca Craig's List Lost & Found:
Lost / Stolen Junkyard Bike - Ice Cream Reward
Last seen on porch - Clinton St. Downtown. July 4th around 3pm.
Junkyard cruiser: Rusty frame - no color just rusted chrome. Single Speed. Taped-up seat. No hand brakes. A real beaut. Curvy bod. One heck of a ride too ;). Will treat finder/stealer/perp to purity ice-cream or a drink or burrito if returned. Reply or just ride it to RIBs. Wouldn't mind sharing, just want to ride it again. Thx!

Honor thy parents?

Overheard in a public restroom:
Mother: “I don’t just know why no one ever flushes.”
Teenage Daughter: “Oh just shut up.”

Not a jock

Middle school girl: "The only reason I put on the glove when I was in the outfield was to hide my face from the ball, and to keep the sun out of my eyes. And it smelled gross."

Growing up

A pair of baby boomers: "Remember when times were lean we used to bring home toilet paper from school or work to try and save money? Now that we're older I'm tempted to bring toilet paper from home, the stuff they use at work is too cheap and scratchy."

A sad fate

Female student: "And every night after work? I came home with at least two dozen donuts? Cause otherwise they would have thrown them all away?"

and the rest of the story?

Two women chatting: "...and I told him it was just a girl's night out..."

All that really matters

An older woman at Salvation Army talking with her coworker: "Just a good smile, that's what matters. I don't care the color, as long as he has a good smile."
