Of course, New York isn't the only place you hear stupid shit.

I spent a weekend in Baltimore a few months back to celebrate an anniversary. We went out, saw the sites and waited out hurricane Irene. We also went to the National Aquarium. Aside from being a great place to visit if you're into fish n' stuff, it also seems to be a common place for the idiots of the world to congregate.

"Oh, oh...hey! HEY!!! HEY TURTLE! TUUUURRRTLLLLEEE! HEEEEEY!!!! ....why isn't he listening to me."
Let it be known that this was said by a woman presumably in her mid to late forties by the state of her bad dye job.

Another gem heard that weekend was one of those juvenile delinquent types. He walked over to the open ray and turtle tank, turned to his parental unit and proceeded to state the following that just blew my mind:

"It smells like fish in here."

A blind gentleman entered the train at City Hall with his collection bucket and began to sing as he made his way up the train. It was only between tracks on my iPod that I hear the following in an off key/off beat swaggering alto..."if you want my body...and you think im sexy...c'mon sugar let me know...if you really need me...just reach out and touch me...come on, honey, tell me so".

It was at this moment that I realized all the things I have seen or overheard during my first few months here in New York City needed to be shared. 


There are roughly 8.5 million people in this city so you better believe that some stupid shit gets said. Being one of the few people that rides the train without headphones, I sometimes get to witness to these gems of verbal diarrhea. 


Be warned, New York - I'm listening :)
