This wasn't overheard, but was said to me by a student during our break:
"I'm going to go home early and take some cough medicine and get a little sleep before I have to work tonight. If I'm coughing all over everyone they won't want to see me naked."
Fine. I'll wear a mask. No big deal. I'm a guy. Coughing doesn't stop me from wanting to see a woman nekkid. Alan |

Less hee hee factor, more indignant. Overheard in the bus this morning near the stop for the teaching hospital:
"Yeah, today I think we're like gonna just have an AIDS patient come in and talk or something. I'm glad about that, I need a class where I can just zone out."
Wonder if the AIDS patient would come and share intimate details of his/her life if they knew.

Must be planning on one of those fields where they don't have to worry about their patients having AIDS. Yeah, right. |

Not overheard, but I guess it goes here.
Today was a lab day. At one point, I explain to the class how to do a certain problem, showing them how to set-up the equation. (They should have been able to do that themselves, but, you know...) Once that's done, they have to get answers for a number of different locations (the variable is latitude). "At that point," I remark, "it's just plug and chug. You know what plug and chug is, right?"
Student right next to me: "I know how to chug!"

Carp. Thanks a lot, Galahog. I think I just woke the kids when I loudly snorted... Alan |

Darn right! But I'm *very* worried. I don't know how many rounds I'll be able to hang with you... I did, however, order Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Houdini from McPhee (thanks for the link!). Alan |

Wasn't Galahog one of the knights of the round table? I finally have something to post on this thread. While walking to my building I overheard a young man's telephone conversation. "Tonight? No man, I've got plans. We're buying dope tonight." |

"Yes."

Well, at least he's doing something constructive. |

My husband and I were walking across campus and noticed a girl digging around in her nose as if there might be gold in there. As we passed her, we overheard her say "I like when my nose ring hangs down!"

Just today I overheard a woman explain:
"You don't have a penis and you aren't related to anyone from around here. Of course no one wants to help you."
I was a little sorry that I had to run to my appointment so that I couldn't linger to hear the rest of the story.
