Quotes from the neighborhood

In the last couple weeks I’ve heard some great quotes. Some were directed at me, others simply overheard in public.

  • “Are you the type that wears alligator shoes?”
  • “Does it look like they they have bubblegum here? Do you see anyone chewing bubblegum? Do they have a bubblegum machine?”
  • “Don’t let him [barley] bite me, I just got up.”
  • to Beth “Can I have a hug?”

I suppose context is what makes them funny, but they might be funny without it. The first one was some lady asking me as I walked Barley at 6:30am last week. The second was at the new brewpub from a guy to his son who was tired of waiting. The third was also while walking Barley, though Barley was on a leash and wasn’t even posturing in a menacing way. The fourth was yelled by some gringo with a white bandana in the back of a packed RX-7.
