Things I heard today:

1. Best and worst compliment yelled to me on the street today:

Best (This requires a short explanation. I have a lot of very curly hair, and I began going gray in my twenties. And I know this sounds odd, but for some reason, people on the street are always saying things to me about my hair. Like, at least once a day. Often, the comments are from people who are overtly mentally ill, but not always.) So, back to the best compliment --"Hey, baby! I dig that salt-and-puppy hair!" Salt-and puppy. I could not have been happier.

Worst -- "You must have been something, back in the day!" Why not just yell, "You are old" at me instead?

2. Most interesting question and answer heard at work today (I'm a lawyer, and I was watching a colleague who was trying a murder case)

Question (by the prosecutor): "Did you consider the defendant to be a friend?"
Answer (by the witness): "If by friend you mean, did we fuck hos together, then no."

3. Best comment by a passenger in my car on a subway stuck at Columbus Circle (loudly, and in a thick West Indian accent): "Columbus Circle is bullshit, mon!"

So, that was my day! How was yours?
