“I like to go into a Starbucks and run up to a group of people sitting together, chatting and laughing, and say, “’Ohmigod, you guys are just like the friends on Friends!’”
-Rick Shapiro, Bowery Poetry Club
OVERHEARD: JEFFREY JAMES
“There’s a lot of prejudice in the world, black vs. white, straight vs. gay, fat vs. thin, but I think there’s no prejudice we have that’s stronger than the prejudice we have against people who are missing their two front teeth. You can cure cancer, invent a working time machine…you could be like “But I went to Harvard!” Yeah, well, you should have gone to the dentist, because as far as I’m concerned, you went to Harvard to play the banjo and have sex with your cousin.” –Jeffrey James
OVERHEARD: STICKY CAT
“I’ve got a cat, so I’ve always got cat hair everywhere. If you have a cat, and you’re sick of cat hair, just get some sticky and tape, and wrap it around the cat. It works.” — Adam Bloom
