Social Graces

True story, happened today --

Guy in suit (after asking a number of detailed questions about particular classes I am taking): Questions like these are how I learn what's going on around here.
Me: What exactly do you do around here?
Guy in suit: [Surprised Pause] I'm the dean of the law school.
Me: [Startled Pause, and probably "oops" written on my forehead] You look younger than your picture. [Smile, probably a Nervous Smile]

Well, I did have to say something, didn't I?
