Gossip Dodger Prints

Kate didn't listen to idle gossip. . . she got her dirty laundry fix at the coin-op.

Cone of Silence

Countless people talk behind my back --- I go to lots of movies.

"Yeah, but that one's a little bit hard to reach."

Fear of news.

'Now,they're going to teach you to talk, but remember, after you learn how.stay away from religion or politics.'

'officially, I'm on leave, but I'm really just ducking the media.'

'Three days, four different avoidance routines.'

'You have to learn to face reality.', 'Can't I just sneak up on it?'

"Can you send me a text so I can use it as a ruse to get out of this conversation?"

"Just once, can we not talk about politics."

"I've had custom reading glasses made that blot out the words 'brexit' and 'royal.'"

Water cooler talk - dogs drinking from toilet.

Personnel. The gap in my resume is when I got turned out on my back for six months.

"You'll catch her if you're quick. She made a dash for the back door."

'Look, I'm a goat, not an elephant. I really don't want to debate politics during the game...'

"If they find out I'm a flight attendant pretend a heart attack so we can leave early."

"If you don't want to know the result of the united game then look away now"

'Oh, Fred does exercise. He takes frequent walks to the refrigerator.'

'...and now to continue our exciting coverage of the election debate.'

"I'm had a miserable day, so I'd appreciate it if neither of you mention politics, wildfires or COVID."

"Must be question time again."

"How's your substitute history teacher, Baldo?"

"It's weird... My boss has a freaky way of seeing through my excuses. It's like a sick sense."

"So I'm thinking...why bother with all the junk mail?"

"Your integrity is on the line. Want me to say you're in a meeting?"

'I found I'm able to maintain my disposition by not watching any economic or employment news.'

'It appears the best way to be politically correct is to be apolitical.'

'The little woman hide the remote control, and I've lost ten pounds looking for it!'

'Maybe he doesn't want to know what's going on in the world.'

"We need to shelter him from all news about economic indicators!"

Glass who didn't want to get involved in the argument.

"I don't want to get into a hypothetical debate about the nature of reality while I'm watching 'Bargain Hunt'. . ."

"I really should call my mother — I just don’t want to talk to her."

"So I take it you won't be going to the staff Christmas party!"
