Conversation Changer #13: Push Ups

Prepare: Practice your strict, scary principal yelling voice.

What to do: When you want the conversation to change yell at the person to do push ups, using your scary voice.

Example:
Jarrah: I'm so depressed! My fiance killed my pet moose. She was taking it for a walk but then I found a dead carcass in my bed. I mean, I still love her but I miss my moose and I'm sad now. The moose was going to be my best man. I didn't even have time to name it and I think I'm going to cry now and -
Fred: DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!!!
Jarrah: What? Twenty what?
Fred: PUSH UPS, YOU MORON!!!! AND BECAUSE OF THAT IDIOTIC COMMENT, DO SIXTY!!!!
Jarrah: What? Please no!
Fred: ONE HUNDRED!!!!! DO YOU WANT ME TO BRING OUT MY TWENTY POUND TEXTBOOKS TO PUT ON YOUR BACK TOO????
Jarrah: N-n-n-o! (drops to the floor, frantic push ups) one, two, three (panting) four...
Fred: That's more like it! And when you're done, we can discuss dictators' strategies for conquering the world and which ones are most practical and ideal.

Conclusion: After your friend is done, you can talk about whatever you choose. Your friend will most likely be so exhausted they will nod and smile to whatever you say.

Warning: Do not, I repeat, do not do this if your friend is much stronger than you. You might end up being the exhausted one doing push ups with a black eye and twenty textbooks on your back. Oh, and if your friend likes push ups, it's okay. They will just have fun doing push ups.
