I'm terrible at small talk. I think it's a fine art and I suck at it.

On first dates I used to ask "what's your least favourite ethnic group". The reactions alone were worth it.

there was a "how many 5 year olds could you take on?" thread on here that was hilarious. I feel that'd be an outstanding small talk topic.

EDIT: lol Locke ^^

You really have to 'read the room' though.

Like, if you're sitting at the pub thats a great topic of conversation. Less so when you're picking up your kid from daycare.
