Overheard in Sioux City

Normally I don’t go around plugging other people’s Web sites on here (except that I do enjoy that Beans Around The World site that I have linked), but today I’ll make an exception.

Have you ever seen “Overheard in New York"? It’s where you can submit interesting things you’ve heard people say in the Big Apple. They’re usually quite funny – mostly heard on trains, in Times Square (touristas!), and from winos. Check it out: http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/

I mention this because I overheard something yesterday in the hallway of my primary employer that makes me wish there was an "Overheard in Cowtown" site, too.

I was walking to break, and there were two ladies walking behind me, talking. And Lady #1 said the following to her friend - in this order, as all one sentence:

"God, I'm horny. I shouldn't have worn these tennis shoes."

Wow – talk about your run-on sentences/interesting conversation starters.

I really have to wonder what one thing has to do with the other. I mean, does that mean she should have worn 5-inch stilettos instead, to hopefully attract a suitable mate? Or perhaps she should have gone barefoot to make it less...complicated later on? (You’d hate to have your Levi’s get snagged on your Reeboks at an inopportune time, I suppose.) Or maybe her man has himself a bizarre foot fetish, and her current footwear wasn’t to his...liking. Who knows?

And as tempting as it was, I didn’t turn around and look at her, mainly because I was laughing at her by this point, and I didn’t want it to be *too* obvious that I was eavesdropping in on her dirty talk. But I'm still dying to know more about these sex-drive deflating sneakers.

Very strange indeed.

So now I’m off – time to go hit up the local Payless Shoe Store and pick up something nice for the Lovely Mrs. G. Who knows – it could be the start of something special...
