Overheard in New York

I get the top ten quotes emailed to me each week, and I'd say it's worth two minutes of my time. Genuine or not, there are usually a few gems, such as:

New Yorkers Are Ultra-Sensitive About Color

Guy at bar: And so I keep trying to tell my wife that sienna is not a color.
Girl passing by: Yes it is! Burnt sienna is a crayon you slanderous prick!

--Restaurant, Bleecker Street

Who Knew Getting to Grandmother's House Would Be This Hard?

Chick, a little buzzed: Fleetwood, crestwood, woodlawn ... There's so much wood on this train I can't concentrate.
Boyfriend: [stares at her wide-eyed].
Chick: Oh my god, did I just say that?
Boyfriend: Yes, and at least five guys heard it.
Random guy: I'm one.

--Metro North

Overheard by: I'm two
