Overheard in Toronto

It happens to all of us. Sometimes we hear something strange and/or hilarious come out of people’s mouths, or we see something we never thought we would. And we must immediately tell someone about it!

That’s what this page it about: a collection of the weird, wacky, hilarious, odd, and whatever else pops up.

I encourage others to contribute to this page as long as it’s not offensive, or obviously I won’t approve those comments. It’s probably easiest to just write something in Reply to add something.
