There’s a lot of dumb people out there — you don’t need me to tell you that. D.C. has a lot of smarties, but we can’t all be people with big brains. Sometimes, however, you wonder if people think about what they’re saying.

Overheard of the Week

At a crosswalk near Lincoln Park:

An ambulance passes by, lights and sirens going. Two women in their mid-20s are talking.

Woman 1: “Wow, do the sirens really have to be so loud?”
Woman 2: “Yeah, you think they could turn down the volume when they get near people or cars.”
Woman 1: “I know, do they need so much attention?”

After the jump, the red menace, coffee, and babies. Not at the same time.
