The rules of “jinx” are unflinchingly rigid – One of my all-time favorite scenes from “The Office” was when Jim, rendered speechless due to a “jinx”, employed the old fake crying ruse to escape a conversation on office drug policy. Classic. I’m going to have to do a top-10 Office list before the season premiere.

I don't remember which episode it was, but they had cut to Ryan being interviewed (one of those "mockumentary" snippets where they're directly addressing the camera), and he was just sitting there with his eyes bulging. He inhaled as if he was going to say something, then didn't say anything. He sat there in total silence for 30 seconds, his face working.

My wife and I watched that scene a dozen times. By the time we were done, both of us needed kleenexes to wipe our eyes. Brilliant!
