conversational Houdini

When the person you are talking to via text/msn suddenly disappears, or constantly disappears and re-appears, without offering any explanation. Basically, when the conversation is so damn boring they don't care about manners, and bail ship.
Girl 1: God, like, Colm is so totally boring.
Girl 2: Yeah, we were on msn last night, I pulled a conversational Houdini after about 5 mins and didn't even change my status.

A real-life instance of good Conversational Reflexes:

I just was going 125mph in my rental car 10min before reaching a security checkpoint.

Officer: "is that a rental? how fast does it go?"

Me: "I wouldn't know, this car is really slow"
