And the same thing with a local angle, not kept up so regularly though:

I overheard a pretty great exchange between a man and a woman as I was on my way to yoga last week, in the gym at UCSF. I presume they were talking about the origin of the namesake of Mount Sutro:

Him: He was, like, a real guy, named Sutro. He was pretty rich, lived here a long time ago.
Her: Is that like the Kama Sutro?

my fav of the day:

You Nailed It
Irish girl: So who were these boys she was caught trespassing with?
American girl: I don't know, but my dad said one of them was named Jesus.
Irish girl: Oh Jesus, so she's hanging out with Muslims now?

Holy shit, that's inspired.  I love it when people actually spend *time* on their humor pieces.  Genius.
