A New Maxim: Devendorf's Razor

ver. Infinity 2.0
"The surest way to end a conversation is to talk to a Devendorf."

The Brothers D have a special gift to make some comment that will end any attempted conversation, especially the inane socially polite conversations that occur in lines at check out, in elevators, or any situation in which the weather, sports teams, or any other mundanity is a suitable subject.

Elevator:
A girl with a dog. The dog is wagging it's tale.
Girl: My dog likes you.
Mark D: Yeah for me.

Done! Three simple words that left another two minutes of an uncomfortable silence to grow as we waited for our individual floors.

Urinal:
An eager sports fan saddles up next to Mark D.
Sports Fan: Can you believe these Chargers? I mean, I was glad to see KC (Kansas City) get knocked out. We'd already played them twice, and we were done. Done, know what I mean? I mean, uh, are you a sports fan?
Mark D: No.

One word! The rest of the urination was in an awkward staring silence, the way God meant us to pee.

In next lesson, you'll learn bad listening techniques, like screaming, making a gagging gesture, dunking your head under water, etc.
