"OVERHEARDS"

You know that moment when you are lazily strolling down your local high street, or quietly dozing in the library when you catch the wiff of an over heard conversation - just a snippet? I call them "overheards" and have collected them for years.

Here are the latest;

*One woman to another;; "Well, I'm not waxing it!"

*Irate man on mobile; "Until you return the power washer, the divorce will not go through!"

*Giggling girls; "And he ate both!"

*Spray tanned woman;"Well, I had it in my hand this morning".
