Better than an iPod

Overheard on the no. 6 bus:

Recorded voice over loudspeaker, announcing next stop: "Madison."

Elderly gent across the aisle from me, to his wife: "Dolly Madison?"

Wife: "No, her husband."

[Pause.]

Wife: "Old Man Madison."

This posting reminds me of an interchange I overheard at Wal-Mart.

A man, mid-twenties, was standing (weaving) in front of the frozen food, talking on his cell phone.
His side of the conversation went like this:

"...I'm at Wal-Mart.
---(pause)---
No honey, I promise you I haven't been smoking dope.
---(pause)---
I've only been drinking. Honest!..."

___only at Wal-Mart!___
