Welcome to Overheard in San Francisco, a new occasional feature where we (and you guys!) take note of the funniest, most obnoxious or simply absurd things to come out of some innocent bystander's mouth. Topics for the first edition include: complicated drinks, a disgruntled tour bus announcer, hipster backpacks and the difference between "stoned" and "high."
Are you high right now?
