Overheard - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 07-24-2008
We all overhear some pretty odd things in passing. Snatches of conversation devoid of context can be amusing and alarming. Please share.
Overheard at a cafe (woman was on her cellphone) "I know she was in labor because she texted me; I texted her back."
At a local athletic club "you know, all the math teachers smell really nice."
Athletic Club? - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-24-2008
What was the Yeti doing in an Athletic Club? Fencing Club, verstand. Athletic Club, not so much.

OK, it was a fencing club; didn't want it to be too specific. Killjoy.
Leah Garchik does Public Eavesdropping for the Chron... - Drunk Monk - 07-25-2008
...but being a S.F.ite, I'm sure you know that PPFY. Garchik's Eavesdropping is awesome. I read it every morning.
I've pondering trying to start something like that up in our magazine - eavesdropping at schools and tournaments. I'm sure it would quickly become a compendium of lame excuses, but there's something funny in that. Still chipping at the concept. Maybe someday.
