Headbanger surprise

Overheard downtown between two young men . . .

Lanky guy: "I heard there’s this metal band in Germany and the lead singer like blew his head off."

Dreadlock guy: "I think I know where you’re going with this. They made a necklace out of his skull."

Lanky guy: "Well, I heard they took his brain and made chili out of it. Or stew or something. It might be an urban legend, but . . ."

Dreadlock guy: "No, it’s true."

Surround sound this, mister!

Overheard at the north-end Husky . . .

Two men in a mini-van are trying to sell a home theatre system to a guy as he walks to his car.

Seller: "It retails for $2,499. I'll knock like two grand off."

Passerby: "No thanks."

Seller: "Awww, come on, man!"

Passerby (getting aggravated): "Dude! All I want is THIS coffee and THESE celery sticks!"

Mother knows best
