There's Nothing Small About "Small Talk"

Once a friend tried to break the silence by making small talk... He simply asked "What I thought?" When I asked "About what?" he replied "About anything." He had no idea how much pressure he just put upon me. Now I have to think of the most exciting thing I can think of, and then tell him what I think about it... You'll be happy to know I made some lame comment about the weather and we haven't been friends since.
