When you meet somebody at a dinner party, or an awards event, or a wedding reception, and they seem very interesting, and knowledgeable, and intelligent, and fun to talk to, there is one hard and fast rule you must follow:<\/p>\n

No matter how desperately they plead with you to engage in a conversation on this important topic, however heartfelt their plea that this is really the most important topic in the world, you must change the subject.<\/p>\n
Be firm, be adamant, be forceful. Do whatever you need to do, but change the subject immediately.<\/p>\n
