Greg shook his head and sighed. "You ever get the feeling that people aren't listening to a word you say?" he asked.

"You ever get the feeling that you were better off just not saying anything?" Brigid replied.

"You ever notice that some people answer questions with another question?" Greg continued.

"You ever notice that some questions aren't worth answering?" Brigid concluded.

I had a friend in college who'd play a game with her SO, where they would respond to each other with questions, until someone was stumped or only came up with a "moot" question.

Despite this victory, I'm not sure if Brigid would be ahead in said game, seeing as how her parrying skills decrease so much in the morning XD

She generally manages all right with nonverbal communication in the morning. ;)

The textbook example of this game is in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard. Fouls include repetition, non-sequitur, and rhetorical questions.

My sister and I once subjected a neighbor to three hours of that to teach him a lesson about showing up unannounced at the worst possible times. By the end, he was rocking back and forth saying "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God...".
