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."
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

What was the Yeti doing in an Athletic Club? Fencing Club, verstand. Athletic Club, not so much.
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit

OK, it was a fencing club; didn't want it to be too specific. Killjoy.

...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.
