h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ah, interesting. I like this sort of thing. In fact, I'm doing something similar with conversations in H2G2.
I have a friend who likes to write down odd things that people say.

I once passed a couple of people who were chatting at a bus stop just at the point where I overheard one of them say:

"...And according to the 1967 Incest Act, it was illegal..."

(the actual year might have been different, but you get the idea).

I increased my walking pace rapidly, needless to say.

We should do a collaborative effort. I love randomly caught conversation snippets that are heard out of any context that they were supposed to be in.

I know someone who keeps a little notepad full of "Random Quotes out of context". It's quite funny.
