I don't say dumb things. Other people say dumb things, and I'm stupid enough to respond to them.
About an hour ago, I went to a dive-bar down the street to get a late night snack (Bimbo's Bitchin' Burrito Kitchen) and I was chatting up a girl sitting two bar stools over. Then she decided to start on the conversation of "signs" which pretty much went like this:
Her: "What's your sign?"
Me: "Leo."
Her: "Damn, I'm incompatible with Leo."
Me: "Um... I'm sorry I guess?"
Her: "Well, if you have any hot friends who are Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, or Pisces, hook me up."
Me: "Damn, can't help you. I only associate with people far less attractive than me."
Awkward silence follows. At this point, I have no idea if she's upset about my sign, or if she realized I just accidentally insulted her to her face.
Conclusion I: When someone is asking you stupid questions, give them the burden of Awkward Silence. Do not respond to their stupid statements, because you will most assuredly sound stupid trying to respond. Stay quiet, and let them feel the wrath of Awkward Silence.
Conclusion II: I am an idiot.
