Still Thinking About Pat's

Yesterday on our satisfying sojourn to Pat's for some cheesesteaks, Jen overheard this conversation between a boyfriend and girlfriend. Pat's is the place to be. Geno's is like Vegas in So. Philly. While Geno's might indeed be good, I have not ever tried it.

Boyfriend: Let's get Pat's

Girlfriend: I want to get Geno's.

Boyfriend; Um, ok. I can do that.

So they headed over to the bright lights of Geno's. A few moments later, the two were back at Pat's. The young woman had eaten just a few bites of her cheesesteak. Her boyfriend got in line at Pat's. As he munched on his Geno's steak, he ordered a Pat's steak. He wasn't even close to finishing his Geno's before he was handed his Pat's. Sometimes, you just can't accept substitutes.

I like overheard conversations.
Check this out. I blogged it but then I erased it because some of the conversationd can be a bit offensive but most of them aren't. They are really funny

my fave overheard subway conversation of all time:

Guy (trying to get number of girl): You see any good movies recently?

Girl: No.

Guy (trying to show his sensitive side): I saw "Seed of Chuckie" last weekend. It was mad good.....kind of violent, though.
