Overheard in New York

This was on the Overheard in New York website, supposedly it's a snippet of an actual conversation.


But Courage Is Being Scared and Doing What You Have to Do

Bleached blonde with lots of facial jewelry #1: So I signed up for the police exam.
Bleached blonde with lots of facial jewelry #2: Really?
Blonde #1: Yeah, can you fuckin' imagine me as a fuckin' cop? All you have to do, though, is pass some fucking test, and then it's good for four years. So if I decide I don't want to be a teacher four years from now, I can just go be a cop.
Blonde #2: Wow, there's no drug test?
Blonde #1: Yeah, but you can get a stick and put bleach on it and then piss on the stick when you take the test, and it kills all that shit.
Blonde #2: Really?
Blonde #1: Yeah, that's what I heard.
Blonde #2: Well, don't they watch you or search you or something?
Blonde #1: Well, maybe, but in that case you can just do a shot of bleach before you take the test. That will clean you out.
Blonde #2: Wow, I don't think I want to do a shot of bleach.
Blonde #1: I know -- that shit's scary, right?!
