The Ultimate Sandwich

Guy 1: It's just like a Big Mac, without the hamburger, the cheese, the lettuce, the tomatoes, the pickles, or the ketchup.
Girl: Then it's not a Big Mac!
Guy 1: Oh, but yes it is, because you've got a piece of bread, some peanut butter, some honey, another piece of bread, more peanut butter, more honey, and, umm... chocolate chips. Then, you have the last piece of bread. Then you top it off with... umm...
Guy 2: Powdered sugar?
Guy 1: Yes, that's genius! ...powdered sugar, then you toast it!! Then you stick a toothpick in it, a toothpick with one of those little flags. And do you know what would be on that flag? Not America, not Germany, but my face! ... Now that's the best sandwich in the world.

You will do even better the NEXT time around too....

{Girl just spoke up with an answer in Math class. She was asked how she knew the answer.}
'Well, this is the second time I have been here....'

Now THAT is classy....

{Girl got her nose pierced, and it is her first day with it.}

Teacher: So, {Girl} what is to stop you from just piercing everything pierced - eyebrow, lip, or whatever else?
Girl: That would just be trashy!

How Dreamy...Part II

Girl: So I had a dream that somebody stabbed this little mentally retarded girl with a screwdriver...in her skull. It was AWFUL!
Guy: Was it a Phillipshead or a Flathead?
Girl: I don't know...I was watching from my doublewide...But the night before that I dreamed that my Mom's preschool started enforcing the death penalty.

"It waddles."

Guy: If I had a wiener dog, I'd kill it. I hate those little dogs.
Girl: Oh, my sister has a wiener dog!! ...it's obese, though. You should see it when it runs... it waddles. It's hilarious.

Girl 2: How much detail is there in a pea?
Girl 1: Well...they're big...and green...and DIS-GUS-TING!!!

That's precisely what he meant.

Teacher: Explain what Gandhi meant by, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
Guy: Oh, oh, I know!!
Teacher: Yes?
Guy: It means if somebody does something to you, then you get back at them, then they're getting back at you, and you get back at them, then they're mad at you, and on and on and on... and eventually, you ain't got no eyes.
Teacher: Umm... No.

Boy: Grandpa, where's [Emmit]?!
["Grandpa" looks around, then looks startled.]
Grandpa: I don't know. Where is [Emmit]?!!
["Grandpa" begins to search, frantically.]

Also, we've recently added About Eavesdroppers, a site that tells all about the history of Eavesdroppers and answers common questions. This is also a place where you can contribute anything you might have overheard, which will help us post even more.
I suppose that I should include the usual stats...[they are at the time of my post]:
Total page views: 4,103
Total Unique Visitors: 1,701

For the last month we've been getting 75 or more visitors almost every day...we've gone over 100 quite a few times now. Help us keep this up! Also remember that you can always view the latest stats here.

Someone doesn't know something...

[A girl and an older woman are looking at some dolls.]

Woman motioning toward a specific doll: Look! That one looks Chinese!
Girl: ...but it has yellow hair.
Woman: Well, whoever made that doll didn't know what they were doing, because Chinese people don't have yellow hair.

Maybe Regular stamps....

{in doctor's office - lady just got told her insurance was only going to pay 1/2 of a $1000 medical bill}

Lady (to daughter): Well!! You would think that with all of the inbreds and degenerates in {Town} that they would accept food stamps!!!
