overheard

last night at tír na nÓg:


Chick: So, I'm doing it. I'm totally dating him.
Guy: What? Are you serious? WHY would you do that?
Chick: I dunno. It's time I had a serious relationship.
Guy: Serious? SERIOUS? Seriously deranged.
Chick: Isn't this what adulthood is all about?
Guy: What?? Loss of grip on reality? Senility?
Chick: Eh, I call it compromise.


Dude1: hey, in the end, aren't all women hookers?
Girl: WHAT??
Dude2: whoa, dude...
Dude1: I mean, when it comes down to it, it's just a matter
Dude1: of price, right? at some point, anyone can be bought.
Girl: grrrr
Dude2: seriously, dude...
Dude1: what I'm saying, I mean, come on, right? like, it
Dude1: might not be a payable price, but there's always
Dude1: a price at which you can be sold.
--Dude1 looks around, registers reactions of Girl a nd Dude2, causing him to start talking faster--
Dude1: I mean, you know, like if you're given a choice to
Dude1: save someone's life or something, right?
Girl: ...
Dude2: dude, I'm telling you...
Girl: like say, if a girl "chooses" to be "paid" her life
Girl: in exchange for sex at gunpoint or something,
Girl: that would make her a hooker?
Dude2: o, man.
Dude1: um, well. ha ha. so, uh, anyone want another
Dude1: beer? eh--ahem.



Friend1: Sorry I'm late. Have you ordered already?
Friend2: Just this bowl of popcorn and shrimp.
Friend1: Do you mean popcorn shrimp?
Friend2: No, look. Popcorn. And Shrimp.
Friend1: How was it?
Friend2: Eh, okay. I like popcorn. I like shrimp.
Friend2: But weirdly, I didn't like this.
Friend1: But there's nothing in there but popcorn.
Friend2: Yeah, that too. And there weren't that
Friend2: that many to begin with.
Friend1: So it's essentially a bowl of wet popcorn?
Friend2: Yeah.
Friend1: I think I'll stick with a burger.
