AIBU To be fascinated by obscure remarks overheard in public places? A Radio 4 programme this pm has inspired me to ask you all this question.

I once overheard two elderly ladies deep in whispered conversation in a cafe, when one lady exclaimed loudly "Well yes, but he thought it was a carrot!"
I have wondered ever since what they were talking about.

well that's the last time I'll buy cucumbers on a buy one get one free, I had no idea what to do with the second one.

My Gran used to love collecting these. Her favourite was passing two women and hearing "oh so HE'S the one who went into the nunnery." I always wished she'd run after them to ask what on earth they were on about!

Another two-elderly-women one from today - "Well, she had to have THAT one adopted".
