Admit it. You’ve thought about doing it. While you’re normally polite and helpful with lost tourists, every once in a while one comes along who is just begging to be sent anywhere save where they want to go. But maybe you didn’t. Maybe you just don’t have that kind of cruelty in your heart. For those who really wanted to play the part of the broken compass but couldn’t bring yourself to do it, you may all live vicariously through this week’s…

…Quote of the Week

Two girls are standing and staring at a random office building on Pennsylvania Avenue. They flag down a passing local:

Girl #1: “Excuse me, is that the White House?”
Local: “No. That’s an office.”
Girl #2: “Oh. Well how do we get there?”
Local: “It’s right over there.” [points through trees] “Just walk that way. You’ll see it.”
Girl #2: “Are you sure? I can’t see anything over there.”
Local: “Oh, you’re right, I’ve got my directions mixed up. Turn around and walk that way. You can see the White House right over there.” [points at Capitol] “Have fun!”

After the jump, the age-old UDC vs. Harvard debate rages on, true monkey love, and the greasiest birthday party ever.

We need your help. Yes, I’m talking to you. Drop some eaves out there and report back to us at overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.
