Eavesdropping

Cell phones are great. I know sometimes they are annoying when people are talking on them when they are in line or in public but sometimes they provide tons of entertainment to those of us who are just standing around with nothing to do but listen to someone else's asinine (ha-ha!) conversations. Here's a gem that I heard while standing in line at the post office this afternoon.

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Are you listening to yourself - say that to yourself so you can hear how dumb that sounds - "I am going on my first pilgrimage to Africa with a tongue ring." Why did you do that? How long have you had that? You're 15 you don't know what you are talking about." (From a 30ish African American woman.)
