The stupidest thing I have ever heard

I love listening to other people's conversations. It's not eavesdropping, I consider it work related. Listening to how people talk to other people has really helped me in the writing department. I like to think my dialogue is realistic and snappy because of the time I take to listen. Case in point:

Just today, on the way home from work, I overheard this conversation:

Man: Yeah, but that's fattening.
Woman: It's tomato paste, it's not fattening.
Man: I'm telling you, tomato paste is fattening.
Woman: How can it be fattening? It's made out of tomotoes!!

As an aside, the dude was a little chubby and eating a donut as he gave such sage advice.

I can't write this stuff people. It just happens.
