OK, gotta ask this one. What would/could make Bernie speechless?

He was the member of the NUS to introduce the new SP base mechanic. When members of the audience began to argue the move and asked for justification other than saving the umpire's legs, he had no response. A fellow UIC started counting him out as would a boxing ref.

Henry had to take over the discussion which lasted more than 1/2 hour.

Afterwards, Bernie walked out of the session and up to me and one of my DUICs and just stood there looking for something to say. Mike DiLeo came over, put his hands on his hips and just smiled at Bernie.

It just isn't what we all expect from Bernie. I have always known him to be street-wise and quick to pick-up on a situation, but never lacking words.
