have you ever heard just one line of a conversation and wondered (or known!) what it was about? ever wished you hadn't heard it?

i was in a restaurant a couple of years ago and the couple behind me was just ending a discussion as dh and i sat in our booth. "well, i'm sure we did it last saturday night like all married couples."


and yesterday, we were at costco to buy some stuff we probably didn't need, and they have all those wonderful plasma and flat screen tv's right as you come in--well, right past the electronic grand pianos-- which we can't afford, either. but i was going around a corner, and i overheard this 20-something man standing in front of a huge plasma tv say to his male companion, "i'd be scared to watch porn on that!"

I was in a men's clothing store with my DH. A man was being measured by a tailor in front of a 3-way mirror. The tailor asked if the pants were too tight in front (there seemed to be a bulge)..and the woman with the man said.."You gotta go for the gusto!!"

The couple were incredibly nerdy looking and it just struck me as funny!!!

Well,I can't remember hearing one right off the bat,but I have said one before! I was at lunch with two girlfriends in a small restaurant. We were having an intense gossip session. At one point I said fairly loudly,"Well,it's not like I slept with him!" A second later I hear giggling at the next table, I'm sure I turned bright pink!

i remember going to the symphony in san francisco with a friend and her parents. her parents dragged us to operas and symphonies at least twice a year. (they had 7 kids, and somehow my friend and i always had to go! i think it's because we were afraid of spiders and didn't hide under the house). one time, when we were about 12 years old, we were bored silly at a symphony and each song went on for what seemed like 2 hours, but was probably only 120 minutes :)...

at intermission, we had to go to hell and back to try and get a coke. you cannot be seated after the lights go down. we got our cokes just as they blinked the lights, telling us we had only so much time. in football, it would have been called a 2-minute warning LOL....so we drank those cokes down like maniacs and raced for our seats. we got to them just as the lights went out and the music started up. and it went and went and went...so my friend thought she was safe. (i mean, in all those movies, including the wonderful alfred hitchcock's 'the man who knew too much', they always shoot people in opera houses or symphony halls when cymbals clash or something, right?) so about 26.32 minutes into a song, my friend does the most phenomenal burp i have ever heard, before or since. right when (okay, one second after) the music comes to a dead stop.
the worst part was, she looked at me and instantly said, "michaela! aren't you embarrassed?!" therefore, everyone who heard the belch--and believe me, only a deaf man in a rest room at the greyhound bus station miles away didn't hear it-- thought it was me.
her parents never ever thought it wasn't me, but they didn't take us so often anymore, either!!....
victoria and i are still friends--going on 41 years, but there are some things you don't forgive!!

I overheard a couple of gals talking in the movie. One of them said, '...then I saw the side view of his profile'. Huh?

"You've got to be careful if you don't know where you're going 'cause you might not get there."

"The future ain't what it use to be."

"It ain't over 'till it's over."

"I really didn't say everything I said."

in high school, i was walking through a very crowded hallway with my friend right behind me. (the burping at the symphony friend):) we were trying to talk as we walked single file through the crowd. all of a sudden i whisper behind me, "i think i started my period!" and, instead of victoria's voice, i hear a boy's voice say, "i don't think so. the bell didn't ring yet."
thank God he was an idiot, or i would have been really embarrassed!

These stories are WAY too funny! Let me share one about my friend, and I'll try to be diplomatic. She was with her family (and extended family), sitting on a hard bench at McDonald's. Well, she had some gas issues, and they reverberated on the hard bench, amplifying the sound. Instead of ignoring that, her family all turned around, in dramatic fashion, and stared at my friend!

Hi, Hermie!

I was at the Aerosmith/KISS concert last month here in Texas, and as we were walking across the parking lot to our car, this girl walked by us and yelled to her friends a good distance away "Hey! We got more pot!"

Why don't you just broadcast it? Sheesh!

I went into a restroom at a restaurant during lunch today and both of the stalls were occupied. I could tell by the little voices coming from both stalls that one held a mom and her toddler and the other held some under-five sibs of the baby.

As I (patiently) waited I heard a little voice say, "Mommy, we're going potty together!!!"

Mom - "How are you doing that?"

"I'm sitting in front and she's sitting in back"

Needless to say, I almost lost it there... :)

LOL Cathie! That reminds me of my niece, when she was very little. We were in the public restroom, and my sis and I were waiting for niece to finish and come out of her stall. Sis asked if she was almost done, and niece said, "almost, I have 3 more to do." dunno Sis said she always did that (counted her potties?). She had no idea what she was counting, or how she counted it. To this day, that is still a mystery. If she counts it now, she doesn't tell us about it!

maybe who's niece wanted to do 'number 3', because everyone else talked about number 1 or number 2. a celeb coming out of a bathroom at a party in nyc said he had done 'number 6.' i was afraid to go in after him!
