Phrases that are conversation stoppers.
Post any phrase you think would bring a cocktail party conversation to a screeching halt.

My entries:

"The salve is clearing up my genital warts quite nicely."

"I just love it when the media uses the phrase 'Violent Projectile Diarrhea'."

"Most of the people in this room will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes."

"There are only 3 women in this room I haven't slept with. Guess who they are!"

6. "Hey, the warning label on these chips says 'May Cause Anal Leakage' - COOL!"
Yes, that is an actual warning label. When they introduced Olestra (a fat-based product that can't be broken down by the body), they marketed the hell out of it for potato chips in particular. Unfortunately, not breaking down in the body has a rather unpleasant side effect so they actually put a warning label on the chip bag saying "MAY CAUSE ANAL LEAKAGE". No joke.

7. I remember seeing those labels.
I also remember the crude jokes from a radio DJ about Olestra, which included sound effects. Ah, good times!
