The Metro is not always a chatty place, though moreso than the New York subway, probably. People prefer to sit in their orange (or red, or blue) seats, reading the newspaper or listening to music or zoning out. Some folks will discuss how many stops they have to go, while others will make small talk about work. But hey, being polite to strangers is cool, right?

Overheard of the Week

A mob of people are getting on the Metro at L’Enfant Plaza:

A woman turns to another woman she doesn’t seem to know: “Doesn’t this remind you of sperm cells just trying to make it?”
Woman 2: “Okay…”
Woman 1 sits down next to her: “Someone told me once that of the sperm cells that make it, they become us. Isn’t that deep?”
Woman 2: “Uh…”

After the jump, more bodily functions, Internet websites, and more.
