Here is a list that can be quite important to you.

There are certain things you can say that will end a conversation. Some are simple like, "The house is on fire." Others are more individualized, such as, "The back of your head has turned purple, which is a sign you are a space lizard!" Both get the job done, the conversation is over.

Sometimes you're the person saying such things, so this book will be handy to get out of talking to that dude you can't stand. Then there are other occasions when these things are said to you. You will no doubt end the conversation, but it's nice to know that a line was used on you. And knowing is half the battle.
