Overheard

The DCist website has a recurring feature called 'Overheard in DC' posting eavesdropped snippets overheard in the DC area. (The best one was http://dcist.com/2008/04/11/overheard_in_dc_44.php, for the 'crackers' reference but especially the 'Barbie' reference.)

With a hat tip to this feaure, I'll relate a conversation I overheard near the birdbath-and-statue section at Behnke's garden center:

Man: Do you want a gargoyle?
Woman: No.

Incidentally, we bought vinca and alyssum, and a particulary healthy specimen of the 'Big Daddy' hydrangea cultivar.
