Conversation

I am not a very good conversationalist and I will be the first one to admit that. If I am meeting somebody and they don't have anything to say then the conversation will be really boring. It isn't that I am stuck up or anything it is just because I usually don't have anything to say and I suck at small talk. For instance, I went to get my hair cut today at Sport Clips (a quick cut men's specialty chain based around a sports motif. Cheap, quick, and usually decent) and the girl cutting my hair was just blabbing on about O.J. and his bail and some basketball player still playing and some football player getting killed.
There were points where she stopped talking and clearly expected some sort of response from me which was difficult because I really didn't care and O.J. deserves everything happening to him. I took the easy way out and just agreed with her opinions and exclaimed where I deemed it appropriate. Was that the most intelligent way of doing it? No, but it was the easiest. So here comes my brilliant idea:
A chain of hair salons where you are not expected to talk or make conversation. You just tell the person how you want your hairs did and they make you all fancy and you don't have to try and stretch your brain to make intelligent conversation. You can just sit back and relax (in some sort of designer comfy chair) and not have to think.
I would so pay money to go to a salon like that.

how about to guarantee success, the chain hire only stylists who are deaf-mute?
You know, I would pay extra for this as well. I hate the haircut conversation - just cut my hair and be quiet! And imagine how much longer the torture is for women since our haircuts take that much longer!
