Conversation Killers
ThatNiceMan asks: Have you ever been talking with people down the pub when somebody throws such a complete curveball (Sample WTF moment: "I wonder what it's like to get bummed") that all talk is stopped dead? Tell us!

Only today...
(Well yesterday now - but I haven't been to bed so it still counts...)
Talking to the prettiest girl at work (which considering that the department has over 200 staff, means she's quite the looker) when somehow I found myself talking about the only male marsupial animal who has a pouch. Not sure why as we don't work in anything related to zoology.
Anyhow, somehow the info that the male Yapok (a south american aquatic marsupial) uses it's pouch to hold it's genitalia to avoid getting it entangled in aquatic vegetation failed to impress her.
And since I'd just been speaking at length about the cloacae of monotremes meant she now thought I had some weird obsession about non-mammalian reproductive organs and backed away looking scared.
(which as I type this strikes me as odd - as she is clearly a mammal, and so wouldn't be part of my supposed special "interest"...)
no apologies for length - just the lack of holes...

A girl
who cannot share your sense of wonder at monotremes is a vacuous basket of insignificance. Your life is infinitely better for not having her in it.

maybe you've hit on the answer
just say 'look, it's OK. I'm not interested in your fanny'.
That should clear it all up.
