Conversation Stopper

Sometimes, a simple sentence can put an end to a complicated conversation verging on an argument.
Saturday night, Val and I were trying to figure out where to go for dinner as well as if we were going to go back to an artists' opening reception at the Buffalo Arts Studio. We were leaving the studio after picking up some things for Val for next week's Music Is Art 2008, at which she is showing her work.
"I'm sorry hon, I smell horse on me," Val said.
Seeing she was serious, conversation over.
