I passed a couple in the street today and the woman was saying, in all seriousness, to the bloke:
Well squirrels are the 5th most intelligent animals in the world and that's because they are marsupials!! 
Heard anything funny/mindboggling/eyeraising in passing lately?

Haha, one of my passions is bonkers doollally conversations I overhear from seniors in post office queues. My all-time favourite was...."Jean did you see that story about Iran on the news last night?"...."No"....."All these women in wimples, there's an awful lot of Catholics that live there"
Hahaha Suzy.
I love a bit of eavesdropping, it's as much fun as people watching
There's a feature in The Guide section of the Guardian every Saturday where a guy recounts conversations he overhears. Walks around surreptitiously taping them I think - or has very discrete shorthand...

In pursuit of adventure, All Ears headed to north Africa last week, only to discover on the flight back that others had been having a far more dramatic time.
Man 1 "I was stood in the square, I saw this grey fur out the corner of my eye, and next thing this weight, and tiny fingers around my neck."
Woman "They came from nowhere."
Man 2 "What kind of monkey was it?"
Man 1 "I dunno, but I didn't like it. I just froze and said, 'Get it off me!'"
Man 2 (puzzled) "You didn't get a picture?"
Woman (definitively) "No. I just thought: 'Get that monkey off his head.' That was the priority."
Man 2 "So how does it work then, the scam. Is it like getting your car clamped; there's a release fee?"
Man 1 "No, the idea is you take a picture and then you pay."
Man 2 "But you didn't?"
Man 1 "It all happened too quickly."
Man 2 "An eventful night then âĶ"
Man 1 "There was more: we were having a coffee and this bloke â he smelled pretty lively â came up out of the crowd âĶ"
Woman "He had his hands down his pants, and he wasn't being discreet about it."
Man 1 "Then he looked us in the eye and then just drank her coffee."
Man 2 "In one go?"
Man 1 "Well they're only small cups, he couldn't really savour it. He looked us in the eye as if to say, 'What are you gonna do about it?' Then he stuck his hand back down his trousers and disappeared."
Woman "And in the end the joke was on him. I'd put a lot more sugar in than I'd intended."
Man 2 "You'd go back, though?"
Man 1 & Woman "Absolutely."
Hehe! Veggie,no I haven't heard anything that daft that I can recall. I tend to think it's funny at the time and forget them later
