overheard this conversation on the way into the office:
street person, talking to police officer: "This is what scabies looks like"
police officer: "Oh, so you have scabies, then?"
street person: "no, this is just some dried skin. But that's what scabies looks like."

Wonderful eavesdropping.
I heard a black guy remark to someone (eavesdropping while I was walking, circa 2007:)
"The white men still think we're at gin joints all the time!"
Especially good because I did not know that "gin joints" remained in currency beyond old noir novels!
