Best snippet of overheard conversation

(At Mcdonalds)

"Hi Chris, can you ask someone to please sanitize that table over there. We were just at mass and we're wearing our mass clothes. Yeah, could you please ask someone to sanatize that"

Two businessmen today walking by us

"Nipple cream"
"Nipple cream?"
"Yeah they all have it"

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure who was the bride and who was the groom.

Overheard on the bus.

"How's your leg these days?"

"Up and down."

Sometimes side to side

"I'm straight. I play 3lv3n C0nqu35t." (don't Google the un-Googleproofed version of that - it's some dodgy hentai game)
On the bus, said by an 18 year old Andr3w T4t3 worshipping idiot. It took all the physical self control I had not to burst out laughing.

in a bathroom:

"It's ok, I'm not offended that you're doing drugs in there"
