I found out about this website (http://www.overheardinnewyork.com) just the other day. I came across this quote that I had to share:

Arty girl: You know what Asperger's is, right?
Arty guy: No.
Arty girl: It's that type of Autism where people are obsessed with trains.
Arty guy: Oh! So is that what all the subway conductors have?

It's a good site for observer types like myself.

I find it humorous. The image of NY on the
site reminds me of the Bus Depot!

After reading that, it's good to know that despite all we have to deal with, we at least have intelligence on our side.

Girl: ...so you injured your knee running cross-country?
Guy: Yeah, right before the season starts, too...
Girl: So how long did it take you to run across the country?

Just pretend I'm the girl, I say shi* like that all the time! :lol:
