The Kenny G Talker

Have you ever been on the phone with a “Kenny G talker?” I will not assume for one minute that everyone knows who Kenny G is, so I’ll summarize the qualities that allow me to make this comparison. Kenny G is a famous saxophone player who is known for his ability to breath in his nose and out his mouth at virtually the same time. This allows him to be able to play seemingly continuous pieces of music without having to pause to take a breath.

This is quite a useful quality when playing the saxophone and yet a very annoying quality when you’re talking to someone on the phone. Because if you never have to pause to take a breath, then the other person can’t interject a thought or tell you they have to go. So, beware the “Kenny G talker!”
