While browsing the shirts at a local clothing store today, I noticed a bespectacled young fellow out of the corner of my eye having a heated discussion with one of the employees. He would punctuate every sentence with "youknowwhati'msayin?", which led me to believe that I was within earshot of East Providence's version of Eminem. Anyway, he seemed to be telling this woman that although "...people THINK they know me" that they "don't REALLY KNOW me".
fair enough.
he then dropped one of the best lines that I've heard in quite some time:
"...well, I don't read books, but 'You can't judge a book by it's cover'..."
that made my day.

That is a good one. One of my favorites, from the 2002 David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar concert at the Garden State Arts Center:
"Six beers, four hands -- you do the math!"

Secretary in a nearby cube on the phone to one of her kids:
"Did you put the fire OUT?"

Guy on his phone, on the bus today:
*You smoke so much you're like an alcoholic. I'd say that you were a smokaholic, but you smoke more like an alcoholic.
*...
*NO. I'm NOT calling you an alcoholic. I'm saying you're LIKE one 'cos you have a smoke every 10 minutes.

My girlfriend was sitting in the on-campus grad bar at UMass Amherst a week ago and she heard a conversation between the bartender and two hoodlum-esque students who were sitting next to her. They were talking about "just laying down some tracks" (read: deejay at the bar).
The bartender said, "Yo, I wish I could bless your tracks but my voice ain't that sweet."
Later on that evening she was talking to these two rocket scientists and she mentioned that she was a fertility drug baby and a surviving triplet.
"Damn," one of them said, without a hint of irony, "I hope my girl never has to take fraternity drugs to have a baby."
She agreed with them, and said, "I hope she never has to take fraternity drugs, either."

Walked past a couple of co-workers who were talking about unix/linux. Overheard this: "Unix was the guy who created it." So brilliant. :D

I'm not even going to tell you guys what I overheard last week because it was so inappropriate.

"You can't fuck with me cos I don't give a fuck, you can't fuck with a nigga that don't give a fuck."

Car camping last week, this was overheard at an adjacent campsite:
"Fuck. We gonna play fuckin' beer pong of fuckin' what?"
They did. Until around 2:00am.
I hate car camping.

In a grocery store around the time of the last presidential election:
TEENAGE #1: "Dude, did you hear? When Chuck Norris becomes governor Texas is going to separate from the US."
TEENAGER #2: "Dude, AWESOME!"
Then I think they high-fived. It was really wonderful.

"Fuck you, I'm a local!... Shame on you for making me curse in front of a child!"
Mid-evening in downcity Providence as the kid and I were walking to AS220. I couldn't think of a response to the dude's indirect apology for cursing in front of my child. I don't think she was paying attention to what he said anyway, all she heard was yelling.
