San Fran flash

Heard in line at Walgreens, standing behind guy who was buying only Spam and Q-tips:

“The beauty of Spam is that you can use the oil it comes in, too.”

Do we want to know? I think not.

What’s the weirdest one-liner you’ve ever overheard?

Incentive: on Saturday, I will package up all the swag and free books (ones I read before getting the freebie) that I don’t want to haul home and mail the whole jackpot to one lucky winner.

Here’s a sample of what will be included…

*Charlaine Harris TruBlood prize pack (T-shirt, comic, first Sookie book)
*Titles by Kresley Cole, Victoria Alexander, Jordan Dane, Deanna Raybourn, and Kerrelyn Sparks

Sound good? Ready, set, go! Winner posted Friday evening but I need the winning address asap so I can mail your stuff before I leave SF.

    100,000 sperm and you were the fastest?

    So, not necessarily weird, but funny.

    I am completely brain dead this morning and can’t come up with one of my own, but I can steal one from Lewis Black:

    “If it wasn’t for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college.”

    And of course, the moment I post, something comes to me…

    Overheard (not by me) in a DC bus:

    “It’s not like it’s rocket surgery!”

    “It was a matter of life or deaf.” (Heard outside a high school orchestra & band recital…I can guess at the context.)

    When I was in college, one of my friend’s Mother said to me:
    With big eyes like that, you must be evil.

    Never did understand that one.

    “Once you get past all the blood, it’s actually really fun.”

    I don’t even want to know what that guy meant!

    It’s not that life is too short, it’s that your dead too long.

    My grandfather use to always say that. It just always seemed strange to me.

    I really can’t think of any one-liners I’ve heard recently. Although, there is on that keeps coming back to me….

    I have two that hang on my bullitan board by the computer.

    “I feel like I’m diagonally parked in a parallel universe.”

    and

    “If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.”

    This was overheard on a train, “You don’t look so hot yourself.”

    I was sitting at the coffee shop and some guys says,” That’s not what I’m looking at.” (sounded a bit mischievous to me)

    Hugs, Danette
