Absurd things I overheard...

I'm always amazed by the words that tumble out of a person.  I guess sometimes the inner monologue filter gets stuck or doesn't engage properly and the next thing you know, all sorts of wrong things start flying out of the mouth.  It's happened to me and probably happened to many of you.  I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.  I don't think every stupid and maybe thoughtless thing that is spoken is done so with a malicious heart.  Sometimes things are said with unintended consequences that keep the speaker from being able to pull their words back fast enough when they know they said something wrong.
