One of the best ways of curing a moderately crappy day (or a moderately crappy few minutes) is to visit "Overheard in New York."

If you haven’t tried it, I can’t recommend it enough.

One of today’s submissions that made me laugh out loud:

Man #1: It seems my first wife put my name down on a job application as a reference.

Man #2: Oh, yeah? How do you know?

Man #1: Somebody called me yesterday and asked, ‘Can you tell us something about her?’

Man #2: What did you say?

Man #1: I said, ‘She can’t cook and she’s lousy in bed! As long as the job don’t require that, I guess she’d be good.’

Man #2: What an idiot!

Ah. That made me laugh. I needed that.
