In Passing

Just found a great blog called In Passing. It's composed almost entirely of overheard statements and conversations, from the funny:

"Your bag is oversized. Our limit is fifty pounds."

"I can't really get rid of any of it now. Can I pay a fine?"

"We prefer not to refer to it as a fine, per se..."

"A convenience fee, then? That sounds better than a bribe."

- A woman and a ticket agent at SFO

To the wise:

"Everything that's produced and sold is to fill a need. Even pet rocks. They... fufill the basic human need... to... spend money on something trendy that they could just as easily find on the ground."

- A woman, recovering quite nicely in justifying the example she'd chosen

To the strangely touching:

"Mommy? When I'm little again, will you carry me around?"

"Sweetie, you're not going to be little again."

"But when you get old you get littlier. Right?"

- A mom and her two kids, the toddler obviously jealous that the baby got most of the attention

Check it out.
