Silence is golden

You know what I hate? Awkward silences.

They just suck the life out of any situation. One minute everyone is talking and the next SILENCE. I sometimes like to call out that silence with the phrase, "Well this is an awkward silence." This works about 75% of the time to break that silence or at least get a smile out of the people.

It really sucks when it's the other 25% who look at you stupid during an even longer awkward silence after that phrase. Damn if I'm going to try that line again during the extended awkward silence...

This isn't a movie theater folks, you KNOW you can talk don't you?
