What's the best/worst pick-up lines you've ever heard. Are there any that have worked?

I met C at a very, very seedy bar, and he got my attention by grabbing my arm as I passed him and saying, "How you doin'?"

I did a radio show once with a guy I was dating, and we went down a list of pick-up lines a mile long.

My favorite: "Nice shoes, let's fuck."

WG: Do you mean you were a Scottish Highland Dancer?

Sorry O/T...

Barb: I did (and still do, though I'm much lazier about it now) Scottish country dancing. I know people who have done Highland but never got into it myself.

I have to confess that the line in Berman's entry - "you're the kind of girl that could make me consider a mini-van", would totally get me. I'm a sucker.

I don't usually get to hear good lines - I just don't go to places where people use them (which might seem like a shocker since y'all know I am Drunky McDrinkerson). But the only deal-breaker line for me and my friends, insuring that you will never get anyone's number, is
"So did you go to Texas? Were you in a sorority? Which one?"

buh- bye.

The line that kills me, and that causes me to walk away, is "So, I'm Bob. What do you do?" Hate for that line. It's so, so tacky. Ask me where I'm from. Ask me what I like to do. But unless you're looking to hire my PR firm, or whatever, please don't ask me what I do all day long. If I think it's interesting, and I want to share my job with you, I will. I just don't see what that has to do with you wanting to learn more about what makes me, me.

T - yes! totally with you on this. Especially because I am in liberal politics, so when guys (usually big-lug Repub. types - no offense to my lovely R friends) hear that, they feel the need to make a comment about Clinton. Ah, yes - so exciting to me.

The only exception is when someone at the all-politico bar I frequent is asking - because he usually is in the same business and just wants to know before he makes a horrible gaffe about my boss or the like.

P - there are exceptions, right, like if I'm with a huge group of lobbyists of reps, or whoever. But random guys wondering what my job is? How dull and tacky. It's simpler, more polite, and you'll learn more about a girl is you just ask her what she likes to do.

How about:

him:They call me coffee.

her: why?

him: Because of the way I grind.

her: But I like my coffee black.

You know that the coffee boy from Airplane is going to be my professor, right WG?

him: Because of the way I grind.

But, wouldn't that mean they call him "barista"? I think that's a much better line.

I got hit on last night by a guy who tried to strike up a conversation with me about my tattoo. I told him I didn't talk to men over 30 who wore shorts.

AB has heard this one, and it's not really a LINE, per se, but it IS the funniest thing I've heard in a bar...

I was at a bar a few months back, and struck up a conversation with a girl and one of her friends there. I'd never met either of them before, and toward the end of the evening, my new little friend leans over to me and says, "You know? You have the prettiest eyes."

So I'm all Thanks and stuff, then she leans back over and says, "I mean... uh... I hope you don't take that the wrong way. Because, I mean, I'm all about dick."

Hee!

That's my most favorite story ever.

"Because, I'm all about dick." Hah! I love it.

So brilliant.

I once told a guy to enjoy his career in the minor leagues. Because y'all, he said something to me like "You know, I could never see us dating, but I wouldn't mind... you know..."

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
