They All Look The Same To Me
Customer: "Do you have a book on the Tuscany airmen?"
Bookseller: "The Tuskegee Airmen? Sure."
Customer: "It's awful about all those experiments they did on them..."
Bookseller: "Wait, are you looking for a book on the Airmen, or on the Tuskegee experiment? It's not the same thing."

You Just Keep Telling Yourself That
Woman 1: "I got these bites & scrapes from moving my fish from a tank to a bucket. The fish was cornered in half a tank of water, it jumped up over the bucket and gnawed on my arm in the process."
Woman 2: "Maybe your hand eye coordination just sucks."

Just Trying To Make The Neighborhood Better
On my way home from class, I witnessed two homeless women arguing because one was peeing in public and the other one called her out. Here is the exchange:
Homeless Woman #1: "THAT lady over there is just peeing all out in the open !!"(in front of a bank's entrance)
Homeless Woman # 2: "I'm HOMELESS!! I gotta pee somewhere!!"
Homeless Woman #1: "I'm HOMELESS TOO but you don't see me squatting all out in the open!"
Homeless Woman #2: "What??! What, you want me to piss all over myself. Is that what I'm supposed to do? This bitch wants me to piss all over myself!!!"
Homeless Woman #1: "Go in a corner like everyone else..."
Homeless Woman #2: (mumbling) "That bitch is trying to start trouble"
