Sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening things said by real people and dutifully reported by bystanders.

Some of the best are overheard cell phone conversations, people with their kids, or people on the subway. Or whimsical combinations of all three.

There's the woman who is loudly complaining on the subway to a friend about all the meds she has to take for her STD, while her mortified daughter standing nearby has to remind her that the meds are for SVT, a heart condition, and not for a sexually transmitted disease.

Or when a girl tells a younger boy that he's going to be a real lady killer when he grown up, and he answers: "Oh, I'll kill men, too. I don't care."

The Mom who tells her little boy: "You do not pee on somebody unless they ask you to!"

Or the boy standing in the ocean who yells, reminiscent of little Bill: "I CHALLENGE YOU, POSEIDON!"
