Photo by Karon.It’s April Fools’ Day, which is pretty fun for most people. We thought about writing a play-by-play of a recent WAKA kickball game in its entirety in place of this week’s Overheard in D.C., but decided against it. However, here’s a hilarious prank everyone will enjoy, courtesy of the D.C. Superior Court:
Overheard of the Week
At D.C. Superior Court:
Two U.S. marshals are talking to a homeless man standing at a pay phone.
Marshal 1: “Whadya doing with it, trying to touch your wang?”
Marshal 2, in a commanding voice: “Take the phone out of your pants!”
After the jump, more April Fools’, tourists, cops with Viagra, and more!
Don’t forget, Overheard in D.C. relies on you to send in funny or weird stuff you hear, and make sure you tell us where you heard it, who said it and when.

Reading is fun
Family gets on Red line:
Boy: “Hey, did you see all those guys in Jesuit Rugby jackets?”
Sister: “Yeah, what is that?”
Boy: “It’s definitely a soccer team.”

Hey-oh!
At Roti, the Mediterranean grill at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW:
A professional-looking couple, mid-30s:
Girl: “The falafel looks really good. We should try some.”
Guy: “Nah, I really don’t need any fried balls.”

Should have waited for April Fools’ Day
On the 31 bus during a morning commute:
Bus driver yells: “Excuse me! Now that the bus is full I have an announcement for the bus. There will be random bag checks at M Street. Excuse me, we will be randomly checking bags at M Street (pause) I’m just kidding!”

Supportive boyfriends are the best, right ladies?
In the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro after the Caps game Tuesday night:
A 5 foot tall girl was standing with her boyfriend waiting to get on a Huntington train. The girl wraps her arms around her boyfriend’s neck and says in a sultry voice:
Girl: “I think I should play hockey. I would be good at it.”
Guy (angrily): “You can’t even handle a f*cking paper cut! AND you would be plowed over by your own teammates because they wouldn’t see you! Terrible idea.”

Take that, Glenn Beck!
At the Courthouse Metro:
A herd of tourists are standing on both sides of the escalator and blocking exits.
Professionally dressed guy in his late twenties: “You know, these are the same people who are going to whine about the government being inefficient. We are efficient — we walk to the left and stand to the right.”

Have you see the First Beer Bong?
Outside the White House:
20 something girl after seeing the White House for the first time: “It doesn’t look as impressive as I thought it would. It looks like it could be a frat house.”

Someone awesome!
In Ballston on the escalator, Thursday evening:
Man on the phone: “You ate 5 worms? Who fed you 5 worms!?”

This is why you shouldn’t mess with cops
At the D.C. Superior Court:
Two U.S. Park Police officers are talking.
Officer one: “So the guy mixed crack and Viagra in a cigar and smokes it, which is a weird combination.”
Officer two: “It’s not that weird.”

Duh, it’s Friday
