Heard on the Street - October 27, 2009

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, but I'm back with a gem. The best part is, this one was actually directed at me! To put it in context, this "gentleman" was walking down the sidewalk toward me, smack dab in the middle of the sidewalk. I was trying to decide whether to go around him to the right or the left when I was auditorily accosted with the following.
