Say . . . swastika!

Overheard by "Inappropriate" at a soiree where people are talking about inappropriate places to pose happily for pictures . . .

Man: I know someone that, when they were at Auschwitz they saw someone posing for a picture like this [*makes a huge grin and thumbs-up*]

Woman #1: Really?!?

Woman #2: It's not like you are going to the happiest place on Earth.

Man: Yeah. It's like, 'You've just won Wimbledon! What are you going to do now?' . . . 'I'm going to a concentration camp!'

That's what she said!

Overheard while submitting an entry to Overheard in Saskatoon . . .

Woman: I wanna be Woman #2!

Man: In what way?

Never wake a sleepwalker

Overheard at New Island Sushi . . .

20's male with friends: "We were saying that if a zombie infestation hit 20th Street, you wouldn't even realize it. You see the same people walking every day. This guy was like, 'What about the blood?' and I replied, 'Like I said, you wouldn't even realize it.' "
