my used gift to you

Some overheardinnewyork.com snarkery for your nothing-about-valentine's-day pleasure:

Conductor: No train Hokey Pokey! Either you're in or you're out!

--7 train, Grand Central

Mom to seven-year-old crossing street: Be careful, dear. You don't want to get run over or we can't have sushi.

--78th & Amsterdam

Father to son running towards intersection: Remember! A foot in the street means a foot in your ass!

--57th & 4th, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

Mother to small daughter outside St. Patrick's: Stop crying -- I know it looks more like a haunted house than a church.

--St. Patrick's Cathedral, 5th Ave

Ahh, isn't that better than finding change on the streets?
