Strangers In The Night

Another forensics season is over. As a special tribute to the end of a great year of speech, here are some quotations that I heard from strangers at the Minneapolis airport.

* * * * *

WOMAN: So, when my friend and I were in Amsterdam, we met these two guys, and after a few drinks, they said that they found us attractive.
FRIEND: Umm, what?
WOMAN: Yeah, so we just went with it, and --
(At this point, I stopped listening.)

* * * * *

A passenger tries to enter the plane without showing a boarding pass.
EMPLOYEE: Excuse me, ma'm, but I need your boarding pass.
MA'M: Well, I showed it to the other person who was here.
EMPLOYEE: That wasn't me. I didn't see it.
MA'M: I don't know where it is.
EMPLOYEE: I can't let you on the plane. I can help you at the desk - we can print a new one, but I do need it.
MA'M: Oh, look - it's here in my pocket.

* * * * *

KID: Mom - you just ran over my foot with the stroller.
MOM: No, I didn't.

This lady was sitting behind me, and talking very quitely to this guy (husband?): "After the restroom, I don't think this is going to be a very comfortable flight..."
