things I heard last week...

at the courthouse:


woman in the security line to enter the building: I wish this line would move faster. I have to be in divorce court at 9:30 and I DON'T want to be married to that man for another year.


my number called for the jury pool.


the judge speaking to me during the voie dire process when asked if I had any attorneys in my family: You're surrounded by lawyers.

the judge: We have our jury. (I was #9.)


the prosecuting attorney: The defendant is a drug dealer.


the defense attorney: The defendant is NOT a drug dealer.


the judge: go back and deliberate some more.


standing at the bus stop:


woman: I went trick-or-treating as a child and a woman put the witchcraft on me. I wanted to slap her but I knew I couldn't 'cause she was old. But now if I do something weird in a dream I know it's the witchcraft.


same woman: I think my boyfriend slept with his mother.


on Halloween:


Bug (as Woody right before we went trick-or-treating): I don't wanna wear the cowboy hat. I'm gonna wear the pirate hat and be Pirate Woody.


Bug's pal (as a T-Rex): Do police arrest dinosaurs?
