"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I was enjoying some drink with a friend last night, and a topic came up and I decided to ask guys on here...
ever heard of men saying that when their child was born, about the guy asking Doc to put an extra stitch in the cooz...
the reason I ask is, we both had heard guys talk about doing this, however on both our endeavors in the delivery room, after all is done, we have asked that question, and got bad looks from the Doc, and nothing else was said, so we were wondering if when guys talk about this, is it just a bad joke? do they say that so someone will ask that question, not realizing how bad it is?
