Overheard

Overheard at the Gallery Place-Chinatown metro station:

Some dorky guys in suits (probably Hill staffers) on a Saturday night--

Guy 1: You know what's out [of style]? Jean shorts.
Guy 2: Yeah, seriously, that's so uncool.
Guy 3: Well, I actually got a great deal on a pair a while ago.
Guy 1: Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it's good.
Guy 3: I got them at some store that was going out of business.
Guy 1: Was it a jean shorts store?
Guy 3: No, it was that store that got bought out by Macy's. What was it called?
Guy 2: No clue.
Guy 3: Maybe it was Marshall-Fields.
Guy 1: Don't they make cookies?
Guy 3: That's Mrs. Fields.
Guy 1: Oh, man, those cookies are so good.
Guy 3: Anyway, the shorts were a good deal.

And on and on, but I had stopped listening at that point.
