... try it sometime, if you're able to sit with a winger long enough to have a coherent conversation. Like at the airport waiting on a flight, or on the plane flying across the country. I suggest just nonchalantly start the conversation discussing current events. They'll probably do most of the talking, so all you'll need to do maybe is mention something else in the news, if they stop talking.

One thing, though, you must let them do the talking. Don't argue with them. They will clam up if they think you're leading them on.
