Conversation Changer #20 : Sleep

Prepare: Either be really tired already (if you know that an awkward conversation will definitely come up) or just have good acting.

What to do: Fall asleep in the middle of the conversation.

Example: 
Jarrah: I'm so excited for this summer! Carlos, we are going to have so much fun! We can reread the encyclopedias we read last summer, except it has to be the updated version of course and of course we can annotate them too.
Carlos: Um, no thanks.
Jarrah: What? Don't mumble. We can also count the number of words in the books in the Library of Congress and then dust them and-
Carlos: (snore)
Jarrah: Carlos? Are you awake? Do you not want to talk about this?
Carlos: What? Cookies...
Jarrah: Wake up! Let's go eat some cookies!
Carlos: (slowly awakens) What? Where am I?
Jarrah: Chocolate chip or sugar cookies?

Conclusion: You've changed the conversation! And got a nap in too!

Warning: Make it realistic and don't be too tired or your friend might leave you asleep wherever you are. Falling asleep in a fountain is not pleasant. Just saying.
