Overheard in D.C.: Fascinating Tales
It's cool to be open and comfortable with your friends. But sometimes you should save certain stories for your doctor. Or no one.
On the National Mall:
Four guys in their 20s get out of a small sedan after parking.
One guy, talking loudly as the other three look around in embarrassment: "So you can see where my testicle is discolored by the direction of my treatment... (crossing the street) and I showed her my left ball and got kicked out."
After the jump, boobs, romance, and more fascinating tales.

This is why people complain about the word "hipster"
In Adams Morgan walking down 18th street:
Girl: "Tryst is quite the hipster scene."
Guy: "None of them have jobs either, you should fit right in."
Girl: "Technically I now have a job, just not one that I yet go to or work at."
Guy: "They would say the same thing."
Girl: "Touché."

The sad thing is, this kind of makes sense

Coworker #2: "Yeah, I love 'Let Her Cry.'"

Romance is in the air
Last Friday night at Napoleon, drunk girl explaining a bad hook-up to guy next to her:
Girl: "Next thing I know I am at some Congressman's house in Virginia and I'm supposed to hook up with this dude who is a Republican. Which means he was definitely not for abortions or drunk driving." (pause, leans into guy next to her) "Don't worry, I don't have abortions."

They do sell food there
A man and a woman are shopping at the Columbia Heights Target:
Man: "So we need to find a gift for an anorexic..."

Gretel? Mugatu?
In the lobby of non-profit in Dupont Circle:
Guy: "Sheila, have you heard, Mary's grown boobs!"
Mary: "I know, aren't they great?! They're my new best friends. I should name them but I don't know if they are going to stick around. I like the name Hansel, but isn't that a man's name?"
