This is a question 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!

We'll just leave it there then
I was drinking in a bar off Leicester Sq with some ex work colleagues.
After several pints I got into that happy place where you can talk to pretty much anyone who's there (or maybe I'm deluded and I turn into a weirdo guy who starts conversations with strangers).

Anyway, at some point in the night I got separated from my friends and started chatting to a Chinese girl at the bar. The conversation was light and amicable until she asked me what I wanted to be in life.
I replied with something suitably droll and asked her the same question.
"I just want to be accepted."
I thought this was a rather odd reply, until I realised that she did have rather large hands for a girl and, ahem, an adams apple.
Now I have nothing against transexuals at all, but my mind went completely blank. I had to say something as it was obvious I had realised what she meant.
In retrospect, I wish I had waited a moment until I'd thought of something kind or considerate.
Sadly, the result of an evenings drinking left me thinking it would be a good idea to be cheeky.
"So, do you still have a willy?"

Moody cow never did reply.
