Today at Goodwill:

Father is at the store with his son trying to find a suit.

Father: "You can't buy that suit, it's not black. Nobody wears gray or blue any more".


Son: "This suit is long enough but the jacket won't button shut."
Father: "Thats okay. Nobody buttons their jackets anymore, they wear them open. Only old men button them up."


Post your funny quotes that you've overheard.

Overheard at Bennies (while I was going through the remains of the Grensons and handmade J&M's), from father in short pants and white athletic socks pulled up to his knee caps trying on a pair of rubbber soled duck billed bicycle toes, to his 7 year old daughter:

Father: Becky, what to do you think of these for papa's work?

Becky: (More interested in juggling the discount socks) Hmmmm....

Father: Of course, remember that Daddy won't bewearing them with these shorts!

Becky: They're good, Daddy!

Father: I thought so, too! Let's get out of here.

Heard on the local ( radio ) money show. In reference to certain local-residing athletes who shall remain nameless:
Nah, those guys are big time. They are the kind of people who'd wear Bruno Magli shoes.
I damn near drove off the ficken road

Perhaps it was an O.J. reference?

In fairness, didn't O.J. introduce America to the Bruno Magli concept ?
