The frozen South

Overheard at Orlando International Airport, 6 a.m. at the curbside check-in (ambient temperature: 39 degrees Fahrenheit):

Woman: Oh my god, what is wrong with this state? It's f--ing freezing!

Snow is, indeed, made of H2O

Overheard at the Hop:

Overheard: The Sandwich Miracle!

Two very drunk and hungry SAEs put their coats on. The first reaches into his pocket.

SAE 1: OH MY GOD! (pulls out it out) I found a sandwich!

The two of them proceed to ravage it, tearing it up and wolfing it down, throwing condiments all over the hallway like confetti.

Overheard: Putting the "ability" in "disability"

In Berry, two guys passing by.

Guy 1: Man these finals are going to kill my GPA.

Guy 2: Yeah, I wish I had some sort of mild form of dyslexia to excuse my stupidity.

Overheard: There's something special about the Hop's mozz sticks

Two sweet-looking dudes are waiting to order at the Hop grill line. One sounds like he might not be from Dartmouth. One turns to the other.

Dude: Oh man, they don't have mozz sticks here, only mozzarella sticks.

Overheard in front of Baker

'13 girl yelling loudly and looking at a bill: 608 dollars? 608 dollars?! I don't have 608 dollars. Fuck "Hanover ambulance service," I coulda walked there!

'13 girl's friend: The irony is, if you could have walked, you wouldn't have needed the ambulance.

Overheard

Two girls talking in a stairwell.

Girl 1: Yeah, I think I'd be really great in business-- you know, management or running a hedge fund or something.

Girl 2: Yeah I think you have the skills for that. I'd probably do better in finance. What classes do you think we should take for that?

Girl 1: Well first we should take Econ 01. I hear it teaches you everything you need for business and finance.
Anyone want to take a wild stab at what year they are?
