Sometimes mangled overheard conversation is the best.
"Tourettes is going to call me back. So if you hear me paging outloud, let me know."
I'm going to use this, somewhere. But until then, have fun.
FYI, it was Charrettes (a supply company) and the "being paged" was munged up.

"So if you hear me paging outloud..." WAY funny! Yeah, baby, Tourette's is calling...
It's even funnier knowing the guy who said it (he occasionally talks to himself, sometimes shouts out, not actual Tourettes, but close).
Steve,
Do you ever check out "Overheard in NY"? It's kind of addictive.

Forgot to say, wlecome to thatgreenyflower.
LBB, yep, I went there a few years ago. I haven't be a regular to the pages. Overheard conversations, especially snippets are always great character building quotes, story bones, etc. I still have written down in my little notebook an overheard conversation between four "women" (I use the quotes because of their youth and, IMHO, immaturity). After dissing one of their mothers for collecting elephants, they moved on to their boyfriends. The quote that got me was, "You haven't gotten your ring yet." Said in a tone of, ""why the heck are you not pressing him" and in the spirit that getting married was a competition. Yes, they were very pleasent people. Part of the rest of the conversation was how to force the guy to give her a ring.
