     You probably should know then before then, indeed.  In some states a
backscratch to a stranger may, in the eyes of the law, be a form of sexual
assault.
     Its OK if you already know the person a bit, but that would be a "changing
direction" line, not an opening line, as I see it.  For the less shy, how about
an offer of a foot or back massage (:-).
