Overheards

Overheard on Carl Street: Family sitting at a sidewalk table at an Italian restaurant, father to young son: “See, that’s why you get spanked. You just. don’t. listen.”

I was on the kid’s side until he screamed through the rest of his dinner.

Overheard on Ocean Beach: The nice guy with the two tiny Westies walking with his girlfriend: “She picked the breed, I picked the names.”

“And what are their names?”

“That one’s Killer, that one’s Spaz.”
