What is a "Hearsay"?
Everybody says dumb things. I just happen to keep track of them when I can. In fact, documenting the dumb things that
just seem to fall out of people's mouths has been one of the most useful tasks I've put to my Palm PDA. If you've heard
any that you'd like to share with the rest of the class, click the link at the bottom of the page. Thanks, and enjoy!

| "I think she told me she runs for Seaman." – 2010 Sunflower to Auburn Half Marathon Race Director Brad Rhoden ... He was announcing one of the age group prize recipients. I think most of the people in the room knew what he was talking about. Anyone who doesn't know about Topeka Seaman high school has missed a few giggles here and there. |
| "This house kinda brings back memories." – Desmond ... Said in the only house in which he has ever been a full-time, legal resident. |
| "I can read my mind." – Desmond |
| "You have to muscle the meat in and it spurts out." – Mano ... Talking about the process of making deer sausage -- using the meat grinder. |
| "Everything in the world is made of spectacles." – Desmond ... I had asked him what he had learned in school that day... I then said, "Do you mean 'particles'?" And he said, "Oh, yeah." |
| "I don't know why I'm upset. There's probably a million killers in Wichita." – Abby ... Talking about the BTK killer. Wichita has a population of about 340,000. |
| "I didn't know I had quarters this big." – Abby |
| "Mano, do you mind if we don't walk on the ground?" – Abby ... I guess maybe she wanted to walk on the sidewalk. |
| "Never find it now!!!" – Desmond ... He was in the bathtub as a wee toddler and he threw something out of the tub. |
| "You're proud of me." – Desmond ... He was talking on the phone to me while I was in California and he was on the pot. Way back in the potty-training days. |
| "I never read this stuff. Who has time?" – A Lockheed Martin Tech Writer ... Referring to the documentation we painfully put together for any software updates supplied. |
| "The Entire State Building." – Desmond ... Makes sense. |
| "I didn't hear it. I don't hear anything but the rattling of my feet. Ummm... tumbling... banging... booming." – Desmond ... I'd asked Desmond if some noise I'd heard was thunder. After he said "rattling," I asked if his feet rattled. |
| "Maybe. I might even join the Olympics." – Desmond ... The day after the school track meet, we were walking to school, and I asked him if he was thinking of doing track in high school. |
| "I'm going to finish this and get on with my life." – Desmond ... ML asked him what he was going to do. He was eating a sandwich at the time. |
| "He's getting pretty big for how little he is." – Tori ... Talking about the pup. |
| "Why do they say they're the state champions? KU is the state champions. They won the Final Four." – Desmond ... We were driving past the sign advertising the accomplishments of the various Baldwin High School athletic groups. |
| "The chair is the perfect size for my 5-foot frame - my back actually can touch the chair back and the floor at the same time, which does not always happen with the deeper seats." – "Consumer" (presumably a jellyfish?) ... A review on a task chair at Staples.com. I think this person needs a spine transplant before they need a chair. Your back should be neither that long nor that flexible. |
| "What would you get if you put a 'D' in front of UMB Bank?... Dumb Bank!" – Desmond ... Des was watching billboards and noticed this oversight on the part of the idiot marketers who thought they'd come up with a good name for a bank chain. |
| "I wouldn't eat onions if I was the last kid alive on earth!" – Desmond |
