Woman: Yeah, they have no electricity, no water to drink, no food to eat, nothing. Teen girl: Well, can't they just boil the water on the ground and drink it? They say the city is flooded with like six feet of water. Woman: No, honey, that water is way too contaminated to be boiled, and besides that, they don't have electricity.

Where is that? --LaGuardia Overheard by: Holly Percey Woman: So, what is it you like about New Orleans? --Becco, W. 46th Street Chick: Apparently there will be another September 11th this month. --65th & Lexington Girl: Looks like you got a tan this weekend. Guy: Yeah, I was out on my friend's boat but we ran out of gas in the harbor so we were out on the water for a while. Girl: You know, that was one thing I kept thinking about all weekend, how inflated the price of marine diesel fuel must be. Guy: It wasn't my boat so I really don't know. They get off the elevator.
