Guy #2: <em>What</em>? Guy #1: I had it on shuffle and it played a nonstop string of <em>Rent</em>, <em>Oklahoma</em>, Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer and, best of all, <em>Annie: The Musical</em>. Guy #2: Wow, you said, "Best of all, <em>Annie</em>." That's amazingly gay. --34th between 7th & 8th Overheard by: cityhick <p> Man on cell: She gave him an iPod. Can you believe it? It's like, just not cool for a <em>girl</em> to give a <em>guy</em> an iPod. A guy can give a girl an iPod. But it shouldn't happen the other way around. It's just not right. --81st & 2nd Southern woman #1: We're going to 8th Avenue, right? Queer: Uh. Southern woman #1: To Bergduff Goodman's. I bet you would usually be listening to your iPod on the subway instead of talking to a group of pretty women. Queer: I like, never go above 14th Street. I stay within a five block radius of my apartment. Southern woman #2: I read about that store before. Maybe I'll buy some blang to go with my new bag. I can wear it tonight when we go to the production. Southern woman #1: That pocketbook is just so you. Queer: I feel like I'm looking into a sea of Prada. --W train Stewardess: The plane is about to land. Please everyone turn off your iPods. Man: Why does she just assume we all have iPods? Lady: It's New York. Even the people asking for money have iPods. --United Airlines plane, LaGuardia Overheard by: Chicago to New York Guy #1: Man, you got one of those iPod nanos? Guy #2: Man, I didn't pay for it. I'm a <em>player</em>! --Starbucks, 41st & Broadway Hobo: Can you spare some change? Guy: No, sorry, I just spend my last penny on this iPod nano. --4th & A<br/>via <a href="http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/">Overheard in New York</a>, Jan 12, 2006
