It must be a fertile time for overhearing lately. Aside from the usual non sequiturs, put-downs, and random stuff, sometimes a little nugget of good advice comes out. The best advice I ever heard was in Teen Wolf, in a poignant scene where Michael J. Fox’s character sought some help from Coach Finstock (before surfing on a van, if memory serves) :

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.”

But this is good advice too, in pretty much all circumstances:

Quote of the Week

Three slacker-looking 20-something guys walking up Connecticut Ave. to a dinner party Wednesday:

Shorter guy: “Are they going to like us?”

Tall guy: “Don’t worry man, it’ll be fine. You just have to be careful about where you burp, and if you decide to fart.”

After the jump, Quebec parties, homeless cell phones, and Madonna.

Don’t forget to send in your overheards to overheardindc at gmail dot com, and make sure you tell us when and where it happened too.
