Overheard on the campus of the University of Texas:
–”Did I tell you about that guy? He was smoking weed out of an apple.”
–”It’s like Chinese brain-torture or something.”
–”Your hair is a hat that you wear all the time.”
–Girl talking on cell phone: “I’m bored out of my cotton-pickin’ mind.”
–Metaphysics professor: “Hyphens are going out with the horse and buggy.”
–”Do y’all still have bears there? Do you still keep them in a big ol’ pit?”
–A guy asks his unresponsive companion these questions as if checking off a list: “Do you have any purple socks? Hairnet? Class ring?”
–An exasperated girl talking on cell phone: “I was about to go Freddy” (said as if “Freddy” is an adjective).
