I can't believe you said that!

A game for three players.

Player 1 posts a line of innocuous small talk.
Player 2 posts a logical next line, also small talk.
Player 3 posts an utterly outlandish reply, and starts a new game.

Example:

Player 1: I like a nice gin and tonic now and then.
Player 2: I prefer a vodka and tonic.
Player 3: It's rubbing alcohol and grape juice for me.
(new game)
There's nothing like a quiet evening at home.

When you post, repeat the lines from the previous post so (1) we'll know how far along in the game we are, and (2) we have continuity of thought.

Let us begin.
