Recently, I spoke with a comic book publisher who might be interested in working with me. It was a good phone conversation, so, buoyed by the prospect of some potentially fun work, I actually ending the conversation with this:
"Okay, that sounds great! Tell ya what. Let's start with one title for me to work on. We'll do a little dance, see how we like each other as dance partners and if it works, keep on dancin'."
"Do a little dance?" "Dance partners?" What the hell? Obviously, my slick little comment was followed by stoney silence. Not wanted to be outdone in the stupid-things-to-say-in-a-business-setting sweepstakes, the publisher then responded, "Yowza."
I don't know what that means and I don't know if it makes me feel any less stupid.
