My two favourite are:
p 45-46: Expensive Service
In a café in Camden Street. Foreign couple walk in (obvious tourists - camera aruond neck, sandals with socks etc.) and ask the run-off-her-feet waitress, 'Can we smoke in here?', to which the girl replies,
'Of course you can but it will cost you a €3,000 service charge and you may or may not have to visit Mountjoy!'
The confused look on offending tourist's face was class! Overheard by J, Café Sofia.
p 143 Smoking's bad for your feet
I was smoking on the upper deck of the no. 17A. The bus driver comes over the speaker and says, 'We would like to remind passengers that smoking is not allowed on the bus.'
I was just putting it out when he continued, 'Smoking causes blisters on your feet when you have to get out and walk.'
This is the sort of story in the book. Also available on overheardindublin.com… (mais)
