CONVERSATION KILLER #1

Setting: Dinner with him and me. He is important. I am trying to be.

ME: So, you're a physician and the Leader of the Opposition! I am still so impressed at your brave stance against the government, getting fired, and then becoming a politician to work to elicit real change.

HIM: Well, it took some great sacrifices to get where I am today, but I really believe in what I'm doing. Even if I don't ever become Premiere, I hope to leave the Legislature in better shape than when I arrived. So, you said you have a BA? What did you major in?

ME: Women's Studies.

HIM: (looks over my shoulder) Is that Ben Henderson?

THE END
