People get stupid and unintelligible in bars, and even when they are coherent, some funny stuff comes out of their mouths. Or maybe it just sounds funny because you yourself had too much fun with Jose and then Jack? What have YOU overhead in bar? Include a picture and venue if possible, and if you must quote yourself, do it you egotistical you.

A few from Overheard in New York...

“Nothing like going to Chuck E. Cheese to make you start drinking again.”

“If the Burp Castle ever closes, it means the death of classical music in New York.”

underager: Hi…I’ll get uh…um…a screwdriver and, um, a corona with a lime.

bartender: Generally when you order a corona, it comes with a lime.

underager: Where I’m from, you don’t get a lime unless you ask for it.

bartender: Where are you from?

underager: Westchester.

"Bodyslam him! That's the point!"

Well, not exactly at a bar, but when I was trying to destroy this pinata (very unsuccessfully), this was yelled to me. I tried my best to comply, but I think we just ended up tearing him (his name was Puncho) limb from limb.

PS: Yes, there is video of this.
PPS: No, I will not post it. I have some shame.
PPPS: I have no shame.

I mentioned this in a previous guide, but it’s burned in my brain and so I must mention it again.

This guy was one of the last stragglers at a company (although I question what frigging company would employ him) holiday party at my favorite local bar, and he was absolutely inebriated. He ordered up some grub and screamed (and I’m not kidding) this out just after he took his first bite. You could hear a pin drop afterwards.
