I set up the Mexican version of Overheard in New York called Conversaciones Ajenas (it means other people's conversations). <BR/><BR/>Probably the one that ignited my love for these little gems was between my father and my mother when they were dating (I'm traslating)<BR/><BR/>My dad serves my mom a cup of coffee and asks if she wants sugar with it. <BR/><BR/>My mom replies "Educated coffee drinkers don't put sugar in their coffee"<BR/><BR/>My dad answers back: "Educated coffee drinkers don't drink Nescafe either"<BR/><BR/>I have never seen either one of them drink anything but instant, at least at home. <BR/><BR/>:)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807617344101669416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-48158144766102568792008-05-24T23:34:00.000-07:002008-05-24T23:34:00.000-07:00Ha, ha, ha...check out www.overheardinnewyork.com ...Ha, ha, ha...<BR/><BR/>check out www.overheardinnewyork.com <BR/><BR/>There's diamonds over there!Rusty Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143817211151177797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-43526668532881044842008-05-23T20:38:00.000-07:002008-05-23T20:38:00.000-07:00My four-year-old grandson, who woke up his father ...My four-year-old grandson, who woke up his father in the middle of the night to announce he had puked in his bed.<BR/><BR/>"Daddy ...

This table is occupied by He and She, relationship unknown. As we pass, He, in mid-story, says to She, "And so *I* wound up washing *her* underwear."<BR/><BR/>My friend and I stop dead in our tracks and perform our best double-takes (we've had practice). He is attempting to crawl under the table; She is laughing so hard that she can barely stay in her seat.<BR/><BR/>He turns to us and makes as if to speak, but I stop him and say, "Whatever it is, it can't be as interesting as what we're going to make up."Jon88https://www.blogger.com/profile/16908049871851563389noreply@blogger.com
