If you’re a fan of the New York Times Metropolitan Diary section, then you’ll love Overheardinnewyork.com. It’s hysterically funny, and really gives you a good slice of life in New York.

The way it works is: let’s say you’re on the street, in a movie theater, at the beach, a restaurant, etc and you hear a conversation that is too funny to ignore and you just have to tell someone. That’s where Overheardinny.com comes in. They have a simple form for you to enter the conversation, and if it makes the cut – they feature it on the site. Check out classic quotes, favorite quotes and most popular, and have fun with the headline contest. But enough of what it’s about, here are a few examples:

Boy: Mommy, is make-up just for girls?
Mom: Make-up is for girls and really fabulous boys
-Eckerd, Rockaway Blvd & Liberty Ave, Ozone Park

Girl: Your breath is stinky.
Guy: Please. My breath is so fresh they should name a mint after it.
Girl: How about excre-mint?
-56th & 1st

See, I told you they were funny.
