trying to make a conversation
You know the story of the
blind guy who walked into the bar and said, "Did you hear the joke about the Pollak?"
The bartender responded, "I'll be happy to listen, but keep in mind that there are four Pollaks are right next to you and they each weigh 400 pounds."
To which the blind man responded, "Never mind. I'm not going to say a joke if I'll have to explain it 10 times."
