Monday Funny August 28, 2006 Jill Tourist: I want to go home. New York is so unchristian. Look at this, they even have a place called “Satan Island”! New Yorker: Oh yeah, we New Yorkers are the worst. We even sold our souls to the devil so we could all read. —6 train
You cannot be serious. No, it can’t be true. Did someone toss this touris under the 6 train, cause that’s where he/she surely belonged.
Such a great site. This conversation was my introduction to Overheard in New York. Girl: There’s a Duane Reade. Guy #1: What do we need a Duane Reade for? Girl: If we’re gonna do this, you guys both have to be wearing condoms. –84th & Broadway I’m not sure what makes the site funnier – how honest people will be in public or how stupid people tend to be (in public or otherwise)…
Wait a minute? New York City has Duane Reade drugstores? Next thing you know, you’ll be telling me they have diners in NJ, space shuttle launches in FL, etc. 😉
I think I do believe about one out of every four overheards in New York, but I sure hope this is in the 25%
I don’t see what is wrong with the quote? New Yorkers are satanists… look at your Yankees for proof! 😛 ps-I was being sarcastic if you didn’t already catch it. 🙂
Have you seen this -http://cristalia.livejournal.com/119634.html – Harlan Ellison groped Connie Willis during the Hugo presentations on Saturday.
OK, I could see myself making the “Satan Island” comment in a purely over-the-top satirical way. If someone said that with all sincerity… Wow.
For us folks in the Christian heartland, we’ll just have to remember to avoid Staten Island. It took me three minutes to figure out what was being referred to.
i don’t believe this one simply because new yorkers wouldn’t just talk to somebody, particularly a tourist, and most of them couldn’t be that clever off the bat – except for you guys? 🙂 that tourist has serious problems.
