Boston Overheard: May Flowers Edition

Sitting outside on a grassy patch next to flip-flop and business suit clad Bostonians seems like a recipe for snippets of wonderment. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. As the weather turns from Spring to Winter to Summer (it’s New England, right?) we’ve got our ears open and hope you do, too. When you hear something, say something. Send in your nuggets of out-of-context statements, outrageous pickup lines, and nonsensical musings to us here at overheard at bostonist.com

High School boy 2: “Man if I was paralyzed I'd be like ‘punch me in the stomach as hard as you can’”

On the orange line inbound from Green Street:
Guy: “You can't f*ck monkeys and people, you idiot!
