Overheard in New York: The Funniest New Website on the Internet

You know when you over hear only a little bit of a conversation or only one side of a conversation? Taking something out of context can be very interesting and sometimes very informative despite the lack of surrounding information. A glimpse of what someone says or how someone address a comment or situation can really provide insight into a person's character. However, most likely a conversation taken out of context will just be funny and humor is what the website overheardinnewyork.com is all about. It's about random, miscellaneous, funny conversations overheard in NYC. Here's a sampling.

Kid #1: Paper beats rock. BAM! Your rock is blowed up!
Kid #2: "Bam" doesn't blow up, "bam" makes it spicy. Now I got a SPICY ROCK! You can't defeat that!

Woman #1: It's really small, you know, but the sex is wonderful.
Woman #2: You mean he's rich?
Woman #1: Yeah. Exactly.

Hobo: Look, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not hungry or sick, I just need some money so I can get high, but it's just weed, I don't do heroin or cocaine or any of that shit.
Guy: You know, it's because of guys like you that people think pot should be illegal! Look at you! When I get high, I pay my own way! I earn my own money and get high! There are little kids on this train! What do you think they're going to learn? Man, think a little!

Girl #1: My friend Chandra thinks she's still a virgin because she's only had anal sex.
Girl #2: How do you know this girl?
Girl #1: She goes to my church.

20-something Intellectual: Facts are such a distraction from the essence of what's really happening.

Some of these are just hilarious... after all... a spicy rock is pretty funny. However, a lot of the other quotes really show what these people were like. Here are a few lessons we can learn from these quotes.

Lesson #1 Everyone has ulterior motives.
That woman might not be in a relationship with you because she likes you. It's because you have money. Now, not all women have this motive. But if you've got a lot of money and not a lot of other qualities like personality or sex appeal then you might want to be on the lookout.

Lesson #2 Rich kids just might have a reputation for a reason.
Rich kids have a reputation for feeling entitled, and this quote seems to prove it. Do you really think he earns his own money? Or is it his weely allowance? As for what the kids on the train are learning... he apparently thinks his elitist entitled attitude is the better example

Lesson #3 Some people don't exactly practice what they preach.
This is true of all people. Not just those who attend church. Take parents for example. Parents almost never practice what they preach. Almost all "role models" fail to live up to the title. Think about every fallen leader you've known. They failed to live up to standards.

Lesson #4 Some smart people aren't really that smart.
Our favorite G.W. Bush went to an Ivy League. What does that say? Everybody's known a highly educated someone who happened to be very talented at saying stupid things or simply very talented at putting their foot in their mouth.
