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
A man walks into a tailor's and says to him, "I need a cheap black suit by Saturday." "What's the occasion?" the tailor asks. "Your funeral."
