I laughed, I cried, but mainly I just shook my head

I hosted both an interesting and action-packed weekend. I overheard, witnessed, participated in a few things that left me shaking my head:

20 something female to 20 something male: "So, which spatula should we get? Could you help me." (I walked back and all there were was a bunch of black or brown spatulas.)

Woman to me at a museum: "What is your zipcode?" I give it to her and she replies, "That's the zipcode of the museum. Are you sure?" I reply in a sardonic tone, "Hmmm. Yes, I do believe that the museum and my house are the only two properties covered by said zipcode."

Tom Rick on Meet The Press: "All Obama is saying is to give war a chance."

#86 on the site meter. That right there is funny on so many levels!

Manager of restaurant at the birthday party I attended: "So you are saying that at this table for 10 you cannot fit 18?" Birthday boy replies, "Well, this is not Hooters so my lap really isn't an option here."

"So it's completely free. It's just the $4.99 service charge that is not included in the free."

Me to my favorite single furniture maker: "I don't know. It's a magazine rack but I have a lot of friends who still drink as a hobby so it will probably be my $100, 3 bottle wine rack. Does that make me both a Yuppie and in need of different friends at this age?"

"Gas drilling shoudn't be protected by the US Environmental Protection Agency. It should be evaluated and protected by the people you elected in Washington."

My friend to me, "I looked up myself at ratemyprofessor.com. I wasn't pissed about the vitriol that students wrote. I was pissed nobody talked about how hot I am."

"Did you pee on the subway?" Response: "No, better!"

Woman in her 60s to Crate and Barrel cashier about the photo below, "What are they?"
