Midwestern Eavesdropping - 4/5/07

Here it is:

Male #1 to Male #2, discussing the fact that Male #1 hooked up with Male #2's wife's twin sister: "I've seen your wife naked."
--Chicago, Cans, 1640 N. Damen
Eavesdroppers: GMYH, RDC

Sixtysomething rotund female court clerk, to an attorney: "What's your number? (pause for a couple seconds) Show me your thing."
--Chicago, Daley Center, Clark & Randolph, Courtroom 1104
Eavesdropper: GMYH

Twentysomething male at a bar: "Dude, I'm the best thumb wrestler ever."
--Lisle, IL, The Lodge
Eavesdropper: Matthew Spring


Bitter 26-year-old, discussing some dude who just snorted a shot of tequila: "That guy's hair looks alarmingly like my bike helmet."
--Chicago, Cans, 1640 N. Damen
Eavesdropper: GMYH


A swarm of people surrounding a booth:
Sweater Guy: "Hey, my brother works for you in Dallas!"
Mark Cuban: "Really? I love your brother!" (hugs Sweater Guy)
--Bloomington , IN, Kilroy's Sports Bar, Walnut & 8th

Eavesdropping: RobD

Fiftysomething female instructor, nonchalantly in the middle of class: "I belonged to a cult for a brief period of time in New York."
--Chicago, Second City Training Center, North & Wells
Eavesdropper: GMYH

Cook County Circuit Court Judge, to old woman who was a bit lippy: "I don't want to throw a 90-year-old woman in jail, but I will."
--Chicago, Daley Center, Clark & Randolph, Courtroom 1104

Eavesdropper: GMYH

Here's another one that's not technically eavesdropping, but still pretty funny:
Text from Tron to GMYH at the beginning of the Florida/Ohio State game: "I met the worst possible person to watch this game with (or just in life), a Purdue grad from Ohio."

Thanks to everyone who contributed. As always, if you overhear something hilarious, email it to gmyhblog@yahoo.com, and I will put it on the next installment of Midwestern Eavesdropping.

As much as I don't want to succumb to the 26-year-old-male's bitterness, I call bullshit on RobD.

Actually Mark Cuban does come back to IU all the time and does go out to the bars. Gregerson, what are you doing up at 4:24am?

I bet the answer involves Red Bulls, Vodka, and The Vu

The Bitter One is all knowing. I have decided to start the "Summer of Gregerson" a little early.
