MORE TICKLES THAN PUNCHES

Monday, November 22, 2004

hey baby, want some fries with those shakes?

it's official. scientific results AND national public radio verify it.

the world's best/most effective pick-up line is (drum roll)....

"NEXT YEAR AT THIS TIME, LET'S BE LAUGHING TOGETHER"

beating out other hot contenders like-

"hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'?"

"let's have breakfast in the morning, should i call you or nudge you?"

and the ever popular-

"i don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die"

do people really utilize pick up lines in day to day (or night to night) dating scenarios? can they possibly work? the whole idea of a pre-packaged route to someone's heart seems an excercise in futility.

although, yesterday at a chinese take out place, a guy told me i looked like i 'just dropped off a charm bracelet' which struck me as pretty cute.

but me, i don't waste time with the fancified lines. i sneak 'em a peek at the rack, usually reels 'em in real good.

by 'rack', i mean 'gun rack' of-course.

oh, and if any of you dare to try out the 'let's be laughing' line (un-ironically) and get laid as a result, i expect a kick-back.
