Overheard in New York

One of my favorite Overheard in New York stories (inspired by this post, via Boing Boing):

Scene: Midtown high-rise, 9th floor. Bike messenger waiting for elevator. Door opens; another messenger emerges, disoriented.

Messenger #1: Whatcha lookin for?

Messenger #2: [Looks at package, pauses.] "Douchebag."

Messenger #1 silently points down the hall towards this sign:

Deutschebank

Someday I'll also tell the story about the two guys who confused Frescobaldi with Vince Guaraldi.
