Sisters and rushees nearby are hearing "terrorist" and "prison" and looking over with raised eyebrows and I'm smiling awkwardly because I don't really want to talk about this anymore but I have no idea what to talk about with this impossible girl.
Luckily, someone rescued me at this point and brought her over to look at some event scrapbooks.
HA!

That's when you start with the "what's your name", "where are you from", "what's your major". Even if the person is from Timbucktu, you can typically throw out something like, "I heard they have a terrific whatever in Timbucktu".
I was lucky to know my geography so I could improvise on any situation once I knew where they were from. By the time I was bumped, I at least knew if they could put a sentence together.
