Odd Things Overheard

[KnoxHarrington]

Ever just walked into a place or just been minding your own business when you've heard someone say something that piqued your interest, and made you wonder what the context could possibly be?

For me, it happened a few days ago, when I walked into a restaurant, and heard someone say "If you're looking for sympathy, you're in the wrong fuckin' place." I seriously wondered if they were actually talking to me, and if I was soon going to be facing someone wielding a chainsaw.

<p>About 10 years ago, one of my neighbors&nbsp;had two step-daughters in their late teens who were <strong><em>smokin'</em></strong> hot.&nbsp; As such, there was no shortage young male suitors clogging up the area.&nbsp; One bucolic summer eve, I was watching a Yankees game and I noticed that there was a car parked across my driveway.&nbsp; I wasn't going out and I kind of figured that it was one of the girls' boyfriends and as such wouldn't be there all night so I went back to watching the game.&nbsp; A little while later I heard some muffled voices arguing and the a car door being flung open and then these words sliced through the warm, still air of a June night:</p><p><font size="4" color="#ff0000"><strong>&quot;No!!!!! Because you were pushing my head down!!!&quot;</strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#000000">followed by the <strong>slam!</strong> of a car door, high heels clicking across the street and up the path to a house and&nbsp;a couple of&nbsp;minutes later, the sound of a car starting then doing the drive of shame off into the night.</font></p><p><font size="1">I always felt sorry for that poor bastard, whoever he was.&nbsp; But the Yankees won so there was at least one happy ending that night.</font></p><p><font size="1"></font></p>

I did see some little girl in San Francisco yesterday that had a huge head.&nbsp; She will definitely show up on the food network in the future.&nbsp; If she doesn't die of a ruptured head.
