Overheard

I'm addicted to Overheard in Minneapolis. People post things they overhear in the Twin Cities. Most of the postings are really funny, quoting people who are self involved, crabby or just plain dopes.

Here are some things I've heard lately:

• Is barf the same thing as vomit? (My eight-year-old niece to me.)
• Did you comb your hair with a nervous chicken? (Mary Lucia on The Current, quoting her father.)
• Do you get the feeling he wanted to grow up to be national hall monitor? (Panelist on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, referring to Joe Liebermann.)

A couple of funny things:

• Plaque: Five out of four people have a problem with fractions.
• In the back of a truck, in those holes where you'd fasten a truck top, two poles, one on either side. On the top of each, a female mannequin head.
