Cream of wheat?

Talk Dirty to Me features "Things overheard at the STD clinic, ... complaints reported by clients of Room 111, a public health clinic in St. Paul that treats people for sexually transmitted diseases. Nurses at the clinic began creating the list two decades ago; it now includes several hundred comments."

Not PC and not in good taste, but a good example of an folk log. The summer I interned in D.C. (at The Chronicle of Higher Education) I remember reading an ongoing text file called "Power Elevator" featuring the best overheard conversations from indiscreet neighbors (mostly lawyers) in the building.
