For whatever reason, this week's overheards were primarily sexual in nature. Maybe we've gone too long without a Congressional sex scandal, so locals folks have felt the need to make up their own? These cops seem to know what's up.
Overheard of the Week
At 14th and Harvard on Monday afternoon:
Two D.C. Police bike cops are riding single file on the sidewalk down 14th Street NW:
Lead cop, over his shoulder: "Know what I like about midnight is?"
Second cop, pushing to catch up: "What's that?"
Lead cop: "Everyone I talk to is dirty."
Second cop: "Oh yeah!"
After the jump, more dirty stuff, and some non-dirty stuff.

Greatest girlfriend ever?
Outside the Bethesda Metro, post happy hour:
Early/mid 20-something guy and girl who appear to be new co-workers, after several drinks.
Guy: "It took me more than 2 years to pay off my credit card after college."
Girl: "Yeah, my boyfriend has some serious credit card debt. So, I told him that if he got it under $1,000 I'd give him all the blowjobs he wanted for a whole weekend."
Guy: "Uh, wow. Sounds like a good deal for him?"
Girl: "Yeah, so he got it down to $900 a few days ago."
Guy: "Woah."
Girl: "But his car just broke down and he had to put like $1,000 on the card. So, should I still do it?"
Guy: ...

See! This is what gay marriage is doing to us! (sarcasm)
At Pizza Hut on U Street near 13th Street NW:
While waiting for their pizza order, a mother and early-teenage daughter loudly discuss the daughter not being allowed to have a boyfriend:
Mother: "You ain't gotta be thinkin' about a boyfriend. You gotta be thinkin about your education, college, your career."
Daughter: "Yeah, but see if I get married and then get a divorce, then I can get some money on the side."
------
Good luck with that
Bus Stop near Lincoln Park (corner of 13th and East Capitol):
Woman 1 to Woman 2 walking a dog: "Man, your dog sure is good. He sits at all the intersections. How did you teach him that?"
Woman 2: "Lots of treats."
Woman 1: "I gotta try that with my cat! She never sits when I tell her to."

Ah, teenagers
Sunday afternoon at the Starbucks on Connecticut Ave across from the Zoo:
A pitbull is napping next to its owner at one of the outdoor tables. A group of high school age kids exits Starbucks with drinks in hand.
Girl 1: "GaaAArgh!! Oh my God!!!"
Dog's ears perks up.
Girl 2: "WHAT?!"
Girl 1: "Aaahh! That DOOOG!! It so scary!! Waaahh! I hate animals!!"
Boy: "You was just at the Zoo."

They have a lot of unusual items on the menu here
A large group at an outside table at Smith & Wollensky on 19th Street NW:
Woman #1: "And so I told her, 'Have a scotch, have sex, have a cigarette and sit the fuck down.'"
------
Hmm.
At National Harbor's Oktoberfest:
A guy in his 20s is leaving a beer tent: "That girl had hair on her boobs!"
------
Not enough! Just ask Henry Bonilla
On the sidewalk in Adams Morgan, near Madam's Organ:
College-age woman to college-age male companions: "There sure are a lot of things named after Reagan here."
------
Girls love what you are implying
In Dupont:
A mid 20s guy is getting yelled at by his friends for stopping and talking with a girl.
Gut to girl: "I gotta go, you should come with us."
Girl, with pronounced cleavage: "Where are you going?"
Guy: "A strip club. You'd be perfect!"

Maybe she's a fan of retrocession
A guy and a girl walking up 18th St, in the heart of Adams Morgan, Saturday afternoon:
Girl: "So this is Virginia."
Guy: "No..."
Girl: "Ohhh, we're in Maryland."
Guy: "No...we're in D.C."
[Pause]
Girl: "I'm lost."

Girl: "Yeah, my boyfriend has some serious credit card debt. So, I told him that if he got it under $1,000 I'd give him all the blowjobs he wanted for a whole weekend."
That so would not be me. I once told a guy I loved him to get out of giving a blowjob. I've never seen someone get dressed more quickly.
That was you???
I knew I recognized you from somewhere, OTR!
Do you still do that thing you do?
Oh yes I do; and now better that ever. Funny how well those tongue exercises worked out.
On the first quote: I think he means Midnight, the goth club. There, "Dirty" is all relative.
Does Midnight still exist? It reminds me of sadness and sheetcake.
They were kicked out of the Meeting Place for a while, but then invited back when the new night they booked failed to have any cake or LARPing.
I keep picturing the second cop as a giant Kool Aid pitcher.
But was the Kool Aid imagery a result of the "Oh Yeah" comment or your own (correct) mental image of the average DC cop physique?
I'm voting for the strip club comment. That definitely took some balls. Or some beers.
Stripclub
Gut to girl: "I gotta go, you should come with us."
"Gut"?
"That girl had hair on her boobs!"
Yeah. Mine.
