You see them everywhere: people on the street trying to get you to give money to a certain cause. Maybe it’s Street Sense, the homeless newspaper, or an environmental group, political cause, or humanitarian organization. But luckily, there are many ways to help out a cause.

Overheard of the Week

On the sidewalk in Dupont Circle next to the Human Rights Campaign store:

Guy talking to girl with clipboard: “I give lots of money to single moms who have hungry children. They just happen to be strippers.”

After the jump, sex, alcohol, and more strippers. It was a big week, maybe.

As always, Overheard in D.C. relies on you to send us the good stuff. Make sure to use our special Overhead email address, and tell us who, where, and in what context.

Rich Guy Problems

In Arlington office building elevator a few days ago:

Two well-dressed mature-aged gentlemen get on an elevator mid-conversation.

Guy 1: “…I’ve got to go, [woman’s name] is up at Giant with the car broke down.”
Guy 2, surprised: “The BMW????,” said in a surprised tone
Guy 1, matter of fact: “Ohh nooo, the Lexus.”

Says the guy taking shots at brunch

At Wonderland Ballroom (11th and Kenyon NW) during brunch:

Three people take shots of tequila. The two guys are making “tequila face”.

Girl: “You two are pussies.”
Guy: “Yeah, well you’re an alcoholic.”
Girl: “In training.”

Sometimes kids are geniuses

On Saturday at Trinity University soccer field:

A man and his roughly four-year-old son are presumably waiting for mom to finish her game.

Dad: “What do you want for breakfast?”
Son (confidently): “A cup of coffee. And a taco.”

Corollary to the Overheard of the Week?

U and 15th, 1:45 a.m. Sunday morning:

Two women in their early 20 are talking.

Girl #1: “So I told him, ‘I hope your dick rots off and you get AIDS from a stripper!'”
Girl #2: “You did that?!”
Girl #1: “Well, it was more a series of mean text messages.”

Attention DC Vote

On F St across from the National Press Club:

Two men in their 30s are talking.

One: “The only way D.C. is getting voting rights is if it gay-marries Delaware.”
Two: “Really? You couldn’t just say ‘marry’?”

Pretty sure the other person is doing it wrong

At the G2 bus stop at 17th and P:

Late 20’s woman on the phone: “Of course I believe you when you tell me you’re a good kisser.”

What is it about this past week?

On the Orange Line towards Vienna:

Girl in her early 20s wearing a Nats jersey, talking to 2 of her friends: “I just really want to get hammered and have sex with drunk people.”
