Overheard

While I dislike the editorial commentary over at Overheard in New York and Overheard in the Office (it's a little bit too much like someone telling you why things are funny - all the time), they do have some corkers. Simon's post just reminded me of a classic from Office.

A bagel left in a microwave has caused a fire alarm. The half-melted and smoking microwave is taken outside and left on the pavement. A firefighter comes along and says, "Is this the thing that started the fire?" A quick-witted office worker says, "No, when we take a break, it takes a break."

There's an apposite one on New York today. A sleazebag is overheard talking on his cell phone, saying, "Yeah baby, yeah, I'm still in London. Yeah, I'll be back on Wednesday, baby."
