Because You Can't Make This Up if You Try...

Overheard in My Hometown...

(Regarding our county in Northern California)
"You know what they say...come on vacation, leave on probation."


(About the drug counselor for their group sessions)
"Why the HELL does a counselor need to go see a therapist? God damn!"
"Maybe she goes to him and takes notes..."

(At work, regarding superhero names)
"If you want to be a superhero, you have to have a name that rhymes.  You know, something like Captain Carrots."
"Captain Carrots doesn't rhyme.  It's alliterative."
"...Did you just tell me that I can't read?"


(At work, regarding a co-worker's 21st birthday)
"I wanna go somewhere cool, like Amsterdam!"
"Where is Amsterdam?"
"I dunno, Germany I think."
"It's in the Netherlands, guys."
"How am I supposed to know that? I'm not a geologist!"
