1.  I hate it whenever I am stuck with someone who isn't much of a talker. 

2.  That must have been a long, uncomfortable lunch if that is all he had to say the whole time you were with him.

1.  Don't say that.  Otherwise, when you happen to be in town, @sjrcpa will NOT invite you to lunch. 

2.  Well, you know me.  By the time I finished talking about my ideas about a decent tax software, dessert was being served and it was time for my mentor to go back to his office.  I didn't give all the details, but he took the last bite of his crème brûlée, paid the bill, stood up, said "Lacerte" and left.

Perhaps you're interested in know why I still remember it was crème Brûlée.  I don't.  Statistics showed 78.6548% of the time, when men ordered dessert as a matter of social gesture, the choice is crème brûlée.
