Helpful Hints For Surviving A Chat With A Turkey

Nov 21, 2018 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Have you ever been seated next to a person whose conversation talents flatlined? Or, perhaps you yourself have had “one-of-those-days” and you’re out of chat fuel. Author/TV personality Barbara Walters wrote “How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Anything.” It became the bible for those who chit chat.

As a public service for the holiday feasting up ahead, may we provide for your consideration some topics for you to present:

  • “If you were creating a 21st century Mount Rushmore, who would be the four U.S. presidents that you would have in place? They must have died since 1941. This collection only includes Franklin Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.
  • “If you only had one question, what would you ask God?”
  • “When it comes to time travel, would you go back in time or forward?”
  • “List in order of importance your senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.”
  • “Close your eyes and describe the person seated on the other side of you.”
  • “Which would you prefer – a month stay in your favorite place or a year-long cruise around the world?”
  • “What was your favorite decade?”
  • Favorite movie — “Inherit the Wind” or “2001: A Space Odyssey”?
  • “If you drove cross country, who would like to be the other three people in the car with you?”
  • “If you had to lose weight or wrinkles, which would you pick?”
  • “When was the last time you got a traffic ticket and why?”
  • “Favorite book — “Gone With the Wind” or “To Kill A Mockingbird”?
  • “What was your favorite commercial as a kid?”
  • “Which is more important — exploring the depth of the sea or outer space?”

If none of these work, then the final question would be, “How long have you been dead?”
