We've all been in the situation at work where we're just sitting there, bored with nothing to do. You start talking to a co-worker about nonsense, and suddenly the conversation moves on to your past and current relationships and the sexual adventures either you or "people you know" have taken place in.
Suddenly your co-worker says something that either contains too much information, or is just plain freaky. Silence follows, and you change the subject.
Here's my submission:
I was at work, monitoring a dig site with a fellow archaeologist. With nothing to do but to just sit around, we start talking about nonsense (yes, you can already see what's coming
). We start talking about our past girlfriends. He mentions how, in his travels, he met these two Australian women in a hostel who would change in front of him, and he then ended up bedding. I went on to say how the stereotype about how asian women are always tight is very true from my own experiences (my last girlfriend was Chinese
). We go on with the conversation, and suddenly he blurts out: "And yeah... then there are those women who have sex with dogs."
Silence.
Feeling the awkwardness, he tries to play it off with, "Yeah man. There are internet sites out there with these women having sex with their dogs! It's nasty!"
Still awkward.
Me: "So, how's everything going at the other site?"
