Depends upon the situation and circumstances: If I'm chatting with someone in the grocery store, then it'll probably be light hearted and humorous -- If I were talking to someone at, say, the scene of a fire, I probably WOULD NOT say something like, "Whoa! Guess I shoulda' brought some hot dogs!"

In the past, as a living historian talking with both the general public and fellow historians, it's been a combination of the two. Lord knows I've suffered from "foot in mouth disease" on more than one occasion because I misjudged the "temperament" of the person/people I was speaking with at the time...

I find it easy to talk with pretty much anyone about anything, really. I like to just let things happen naturally, and whatever topic of conversation comes up at the time...it's all good.

Both. I like lighthearted conversation, but I also have my own opinions. It just depends on who I'm talking to, the circumstances, and the mood I'm in.

I have no sense of humor.

It was surgically removed by one of my exes.

It's really hard to bend my arm now that I have no funny bone.

Sucks when I want to drink a beer. Beer is not meant to be drunk with a straw!

Well it all depends wether it be a woman I'm chatting to or
wether it is a guy I'm flirting with!

Often something going on around can spark an intial engagement,
if you connect on any level with the person,
then the conversation will flow where ever it may.

By the by Fire, your spelling often makes me smile, no worries.

I could find myself doing either. Of course, mixing politics and humor is a blast, but you have to be really, really careful peace

In the salon I sometimes find the conversation going all over the place,,,,LOL ,,,,in other places depending on how comfortable I am I seem to talk about most anything. I think one thing I don't enjoy is arguing,,if someone doesn't like or agree that is ok,,,I would just rather accept that and just go on my way.
