I love Overheard in NY. I thought of starting that in San Francisco but just don’t think the overheard conversations would hold a candle to those in NY.

Recently I overheard on West 18th St:

Friend 1: You should sell it on Ebay and set a reserve price.
Friend 2: You mean bid on it myself?

My sister is a PA and used to work in family medicine. She once had a patient come in and complain that his ear hurt “when he pushed on it REALLY hard.” She did a complete examination and couldn’t find anything wrong with the man’s ear.

“When else does your ear bother you, sir?” she asked.

“Never,” he replied.

“So it only hurts when you push on it REALLY hard?” she continued.

“Yup!” the guy tells her.

“Well, I’m going to suggest that you not push on it really hard, then.”
