Conversation KillersThatNiceMan 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!

When I first met one of my friendsThe reason we got on so well was because she was so used to the conversation dying, and it didn't. It was in one of those interminable university fresher things at a bar, where you say where you grew up, your schools etc.
Her, "Well, I never really went to school because I was in hospital for most of my childhood."
Dead silence, apart from me, who in a tone of delight went, "Ooo, me too! Did yours have a Nintendo? We used to go on missions to liberate it from the infectious disease kids, it was like a Bond film..."
Apparently it wasn't so much that the conversation kept alive after that, it was the fact that I sounded so "disturbingly happy" about the whole thing.
