Overheard in Madison 10/26

Guy in Vilas Hall:

I cannot eat regular Oreos after eating Double Stuf Oreos. It's like going back to regular sex after having sex on ecstasy.

Girl in Memorial Union: What did you eat for dinner?

Girl 2: Trader Joe's Masala Naan. It's so good, such sticky, gooey bread I want to live in it! Why didn't I buy more.

Professor in Vilas Hall:

Yes, of course you can interview live sources, but being that it's Halloween you can also interview the dead.

 

Girl in Fresh Market:

So what did you do this weekend?

Girl 2: I got really drunk with my sister over Skype.

After a concert, guy talking on cell phone:

I was in the mosh pit and my friends' tooth went into my other friends' head ... yeah, so do you want to drink a lot now?

Guy in East Campus Mall:

You've got three freckles on your nose.

Girl: No, I don't have any freckles—I think those are blackheads...

Guy: Oh, (putting on glasses) I guess you're right.

Girl in Vilas:

They're just keepin' it arboreal—I love monkey puns!

Girl at Mediterranean Cafe:

I just got this really great Vaseline lip stuff for really cheap. Try it!

Guy: I don't want to use petroleum products on my lips.

Girl: But it works!

Guy: So? My grandma used WD40 for her arthritis and she said THAT worked.

Professor in Helen C. White Hall:

I was at a cabaret of opera singers last night. Yes, this is how old people entertain themselves. The average age was about 75 I would say.

Professor in Birge Hall, demonstrating how to properly sniff aromas from a glass of ""wine"":

Yes, Madison water alright. Lovely bouquet of chlorine.

Constitutional Law professor:

If you were president, how would you defend the chickens?

Later: Chickens are like cows!
