Hear here

Contrary to what you may be told, I like to listen rather than talk. No, really.
Yesterday was a day of much listening. The point of this witter today is to share a few snippets of conversations I overheard.

Conversation #1... In a bar

A: Don't let people tell you maple syrup is bad for you. It has many health benefits.
B: Do they really drain it from a tree?
A: Yes.
C: They do that for other trees as well. Like that Bear guy. He drinks stuff straight from a tree.
D: Yeah but he's an idiot who wades into a swamp knowing man eating crocs are in it and then tells the viewer that it's not wise to do things like that. Patronising git.
B: Does he drain things from a tree while he's in the swamp?
C: Not sure but he once made sunglasses from a bit of cardboard when he was in the desert. Looked like a prat. Tiny slits in a bit of cardboard and he thinks he's *"!!@**! Calvin Klein.
D: Yeah. !!""^**^!!Idiot.
A: You get aspirin from a tree. I think.
C: An aspen is totally different from a maple. Kind of silver looking. You can weave with it though.

No idea what happened next - had to go.

Conversation #2... In a department store

M: Will I get her this then? It's her size.
F: Hmm. Not really her colour is it?
M: How d' you mean? She wears lots of stuff like this.
F: Well, she wears shades of latte or mocha but that's kind of dark chocolate.
M: It's brown. I know she wears brown.
F: No, seriously she won't like that. It's just too dark.
M: Well, what about this then - it's not dark.
F: God no, that's beige. She'd hate that.
M: !!!*** this she's getting a voucher.

Exit M at speed. :0)
