You gotta be pretty awkward to use menstruation as an excuse to talk to someone that sits beside you everyday... Still one ups me though.
I dunno. It's a topic all girls can relate to, and pretty much everyone is sympathetic to it. Asking for a small favour or referencing a common ground isn't a bad way to break the ice; I often started a lot of conversations after my classes by asking about essays, or some such thing.
I mean, everyone poops, but you don't go using that as a conversation topic with complete strangers. At least Essays are a more appropriate subject and have a greater chance to progress in to actual conversation. Don't get me wrong though, I liked the story and thought it was cute; I was just making a bad joke.
Edit: first sentence for clarity.
