OVERHEARD in Passing - Part 5:

People continue to say the darnedest things, even in public. Here’s another sampling of strange comments overheard:

(1) Guy on 8th Street to friend: "All she wanted was to cuddle. If that's what I wanted, just to cuddle, I'd have gone home to the dog."

(2) Man to friend, walking dogs by the river, about a dog:
“We celebrated his birthday in December and that day he fell on his head and died.�

(3) Man on cell phone: “She’s in a coma, and her conversation is limited.�

(4) Woman crossing the West Side Highway with her kid, about 8:
“I wouldn’t think that there’d be so many lactose intolerant children in your class.�

(5) Young woman to a group of friends, near Varick Street: “And guess who else I heard is on crack?�

(6) Middle-aged woman, to friend: “I mistook his silence for profundity till I realized he was really a sociopath.�

(7) Woman: “What does your husband do for a living?�
Friend: “He’s a parasite.�

(8) Businessman to panhandler: “Why don’t you get a job?�
Panhandler: “This is a job.�
