My friend has a habit...
...of saying something AS a conversation stops. It's like some pre-emptive killing before saying something absolutely hideous.

An example... sitting with the lads in a busy pool club on a Friday night out, imbibing pints and having a laugh. The place is full of music, laughter and yapping as everyone enjoys themselves. The barmaid had arrived from behind my poor friend totally unbeknownst to him and was politely waiting until he had finished chatting to clear the table.

For some unusual quirk of the universe the entire room fell silent and the music track ended at the exact moment my mate delivered the closing line of the discussion... "I like being taken roughly up the arse" (feck knows what we were discussing). It was so quiet that it sounded like he had shouted it at the top of his voice. The barmaid was almost weeping with laughter as matey boy turned a bit pink and the rest of the gang and anyone else who heard it rolled around in painful hysterics. Brilliant.
