This is the dumbest fragment of conversation I've overheard all year:
Girl (trying to impress Guy): You know constellations, like with stars? Well, I have the Big Dipper on my back.
Guy: Really? Shut up.
Girl: No really, I'm only missing one.
This is a close runner up to the dumbest thing I've ever overheard, which I overheard last year:
Guy (trying to impress Girl): You know McDonalds? They're set up so that you only ever have to make right hand turns to get to them.
Girl (unbelievably impressed): Really?
Guy: Yeah, they got some kind of special deal, and that's why other places can't compete. So even if Burger King wanted to build on this one corner, they couldn't because McDonalds wouldn't let them.
Sometimes, you suspect that you are surrounded by idiots, and other times, you know.

but really - UPS charts out their truck routes with as few left turns as possible. i think that's kinda cool an an efficient kind of way.
