Our regular Mistress of Overheard is busy with family stuff and moving houses this afternoon to eavesdrop on D.C. Good thing we’re all busy bodies around here. A preoccupation with guns and sex this week leaves us wondering, what happened to romance? Seriously, keep reading and you’ll get to one of the worst pick up lines we’ve ever heard, plus a highly dubious marriage proposal.

Quote of the Week

The real question is, where were these guys going?

A conversation between two veterans at the Vietnam Memorial:
“…so I said to him, ‘Look, if you’re really my friend you’ll go into
your house, get all of your guns, and toss them in the back of my
truck.'”

We love to hear what you’ve heard. Send it to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.

After the jump, getting drunk, knocking women up and pick up lines that don’t work.
