Funny partial-conversations you've heard

Obviously more to the story than what YOU knew about!

I was just thinking about a home movie I saw several years ago of a family get-together (filmed when camcorders were still very new). The person running the camera had forgotten it was on, and was whirling about the room, looking at the floor, then the ceiling, as faces flew past the screen and conversation jumbled together. Suddenly, I heard Larry's voice saying, "You can't fit that in a barrel! It's impossible!" And that's all that could be heard of that conversation.

Naturally a ton of questions come to mind. What won't fit in a barrel? What if you tried really hard? And why would you want it in a barrel in the first place? And other similarly-unanswerable questions.

Needless to say, I've never found out what would never fit in a barrel. But I've always wondered.

Can anyone else remember hearing some "partial conversations" that were intriguing like this?

I and a group of friends ( musicians ..guys and girls ) used to set up these fake partial overhears ..

ie: When we saw a likely "mark" within earshot in a bar or else where if we were in a "guy + girl pair" one or the other would say in as loud a voice as possible ..

"FIVE QUID!..You've got to crazy if you think that I'm gonna pay you five quid for that!".

or

"FIVE QUID! ...you've want me to do that for five quid!".

Then look "blazing daggers" at the person "overhearing" the interchange ..who hurried off red faced to think /imagine about what they had just heard ..

Musicians humour I know ...made us laugh ;)

Reminded me of a scene in a restaraunt. A new preacher was having dinner with two of his mentors, I gathered. Their conversation could be heard throughout the restaraunt; particularly the youngest one who was simply bubbling over with enthusiasm.
There was a lull when all three at that table took a bite simultaneously; someone at another table said in a stage murmer, "Well, besitality is MUCH better..."
More than one drink was sprayed around the restaraunt. :)
