Best Overheard Work Conversation. Ever.

-Hog's heads. Where do I get them?
-Grant Park Packing. I believe it’s on Grand Avenue.
-Will they give me just the mandible?
-No. They’ll give you the whole head.
-Is this somewhere near Greektown?
-Grant Park is, um, well, it’s not far from Greektown.
-I heard they got them from some slaughterhouse near Greektown.

(Speaker 2 breaks to locate phone number. He returns.)

-And disarticulating the mandible from the head is actually quite a procedure.
-Which is why he just wants the mandible. Perhaps he can pay them for that.
-I doubt it.
-I can remember the students using the heads for hockey pucks.
-Yes. It was gross.
-And there was a concern about them being dumped in the trash.
-Yes. Disposal is a problem.
-Just like the human heads, they’ve got to be cremated.
-Yes. And depending on how many they want, they’re very heavy.
-They were large. They were like boar’s heads.
