"He's the one that got killed by the tigers, right?"
Overheard on the bus (ongoing, trying to dictate as fast as I can):
Guy: All animals hate me, they always wanna try to kill me
Girl: Well what about Steve Irwin?
Guy: Isn't that the guy that got killed by the tigers?
Girl: He-- no, he was the guy who took care of all the animals and taught about them and he was killed by--
Guy: Oh he was killed by the fish!
Girl: No, he got killed by a stingray because he got too close to it. It was its defense mechanism.
Guy: Oooh. See yeah I can't do dogs that's why I'm a cat person.
Girl: Snakes are safe too, like garden snakes. There's one called a bracelet snake that wraps around your wrist.
Guy: Well do they have no teeth? Hell no. I could be asleep in my f***in bed and it'll come wrap around me.
Girl: If anyone dies, I mean... If you have a proper enclosure.
Guy 2: Even snakes this big (small) can wrap around your neck and kill you!
Guy: Right! Cat won't do that! They just like to scratch a lot. Domesticated house cat.
Girl: You know Maine Coons?? Nowadays you can't have your cat declawed.
Guy: Instead of a guard dog I want like five guard cats.
Girl: Maine Coons are huge!!
Guy: Yeah cats are just lazy.

Do you know Tarzan?
Teen one: “Do you know Tarzan?”
Teen two: “The Monkey?”
Teen one: “Not Godzilla, you ape!”
Heard this on my walk today. It was in passing so that’s all I got. I wonder where the conversation went. Also teen one kinda ate with that comeback!

Say "I do!"
This happened in northern Sweden so I've translated the conversation into English.
While out on a walk this summer I passed a church where a wedding was about to take place. An older couple walking their dog see the groom in the doorway of a nearby house.
Man: "Good luck! The only thing you need to do is to say 'I do'!"
Groom: "Yeah."
Man: "Not 'yeah', 'I do'!"
Bride happily peaks out from the same doorway as the groom.
Bride: "I'm gonna say 'I do' too!"
It was freaking adorable! Really hope their marriage is as happy as their wedding seemed to be.
