overheard on Market Street

at the Tea Leaf and Coffee Bean, downtown San Francisco:

"Omigod, I could never have a boyfriend that good-looking. Because I'd be like: No way are you going to the grocery store without me. You are not leaving the house alone."

"People that gorgeous have no personality anyway."

"That's totally evolution. Personality, humor - those are not natural traits for the good-looking. They're what the rest of us develop to compete."

"If we're onto evolution, have you noticed how two really hot people never have gorgeous children? Something about their genes colliding makes their kids come out freakish. Now you put two plain people together, and they have beautiful kids."
