Overheards

Out walking, I sometimes catch fragments of phrases uttered by other pedestrians. A gentleman was taking a photo of 2 little kids and their Mom, who was kneeling down between them. As I passed, he was looking at the shot in his view finder and determined that one of the children looked “disconsolate”. He looked at the 3 year old and said, “Do you understand disconsolate?”
Over by Coxwell while waiting for a light to change, this:
“I really wanted to punch the guy out, he pissed me off so much. If he hadn’t been standing in front of a girl I wanted to date, I woulda given him a love tap.”
