Quote Of The Day.

...Or of some time ago, actually. Was reading a post on customers_suck and it reminded me of this. The exact words might be a bit out - my memory for the spoken word is officially The Suck - but the essence of the conversation remains the same. I don't think I posted this on the day. But - what the heck, I'm posting it now while I remember.

Was in Waterstone's (big bookstore), browsing away. I can hear people talking.
One thing they say catches my ear.
"What does he need more books for? He's got five boxes of them!" Bit of discussion that doesn't register, then - "If he wants to read, he can go on the Internet!"
My reaction could be best described as WTF? Didn't say anything, but my mind boggled for the rest of the day...

And more contemporary quotes. Again, probably not exact. Even though these took place less than twelve hours ago.

My dad, on driving: "Just imagine that every other turn has a blind lunatic with a death wish coming out of it and you'll be about right."

My classmates, at lunch. We were discussing names.
Probably M.S.: "Knew a Mark Wood once. His sister's name was Holly. Double whammy there."
A pause. Some sniggers.
D.R.: "...I don't get it."
C.J.: "Er... put the two together... Hollywood?"
