Boy #1:  "Yeah."
Boy #2:  "Jesus."

Thirtysomething on phone with strip club:  "Are masks required on Sniffer's Row?" (pause) "Okay, what about on the dancers?" (pause) "Makes sense.  What's the foot-on-denim situation?"

Six-year-old boy to his friend's dad:  "I've watched some YouTube videos about how to get on the dark web without getting caught."
Friend's dad:  "Pretty much everything on the dark web is illegal."
Boy:  "What about potions?"
Friend's dad:  "What kind of potions do you think you're going to get on the dark web?"
Boy:  "There's a lot of shapeshifting potions that can turn people into animals."
Friend's dad:  "Well those don't exist.  Where did you hear that?"
Boy:  "YouTube."
--Chicago
Eavesdropper:  GMYH

As always, if you overhear something funny or ridiculous (or that can be taken completely out of context), email it to gmyhblog@yahoo.com, along with the location you heard it and your preferred eavesdropping handle, for inclusion in the next exciting edition of Midwestern Eavesdropping.
