overheard in New York

ef þið eruð ekki búin að tjekka á þessari síðu þá er tækifærið núna.
eða bara seinna.
þetta er svona síða sem fólk getur skrifað inná ef það heyrir (overheard) eitthvað fyndið út á götu í nýju jórvík (new york).

dæmi:
Tween girl: The thing most people don't get about techno is, it's so emotional.
--76th & 2nd

Guy #1: Excuse me, sir, but do you know you're white?
Guy #2: Yes, I do know that. Now will you stop following me?
--40th & 8th

Teen girl #1: We're not going to KFC! Their food is, like, poison.
Teen girl #2: Yeah, they kill their chickens alive.
--96th & Lexington

Girl: Excuse me, do you have any biographies of TuPac?
Library guy: Probably, though they'd be with the other biographies on the second floor.
Dude: But isn't this the fiction section?
Library guy: It is. You might be able to find some books about him in non-fiction.
Girl: "Non-fiction"?
Library guy: Non-fiction means true.
Dude: ...And fiction means false.
Library guy: Sort of.
Girl: So if it's in non-fiction then that means he must still be alive.
Library guy: I don't think you understand.
