A friend of mine, after receiving a flier that a specialty shoe store was have a "huge, blow-out sale" she went to check out the deals, which turns out were neither huge, nor blown-out. The only shoes on sale were the too-big or too-small for any normal sized human. She had the true following dialouge with the owner.
Kim: "So which shoes are on sale exactly?"
Owner: "Well, all of the shoes here are FOR sale . . ."
Classic.
Coincidentally, I recently became aware of this website, which is a treasure-trove of dumb overheard lines like this (Note: PG-13 language on some of the overheard lines)
Here's my favorite one:
Tactful Waiter (In Singapore) Dissuading Woman From Breast-Feeding In Public
"I'm sorry ma'am, there's no outside food allowed."
Classic

This was overheard by lots of people, so it might not be an exact fit but it was still funny. On fast Sunday this newly married couple both stood to bear their testimonies. I don't like to perpetuate stereotypes, but this guy had a nice nerdy vibe going, and you'd expect him to use big words and speak quietly and intelligently, which he did. Then he was talking about a conversation he had with his mother about why he liked his future wife. He told his mom, "She's just so hot." That got my attention because, um, who says someone is hot over the pulpit? It's a rare occurrence, I think. To his credit he followed up with how she is also very kind. Then the lady sitting behind us looked at Jane and said she'd better plug her ears because of mature subject matter, or something to that effect.
