Do you know of any phrases that are likely to end a polite dinner conversation? I'm talking about phrases like:
Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?
You know, I was sad when the civil war in Bosnia ended...
You're a vegetarian? Funny, so was Hitler.
Of course, I realize that these phrases, among friends, can actually lead to very interesting conversations. I'm just thinking of the sorts of things that you wouldn't want to say, for example, at dinner when first meeting your fiancee's parents.
Please, if you've got 'em, post 'em.
Thank you.
