I collected what I thought were some of the best lines, which follow. Apologies to the originators; I deleted all references to your identities: "I'd really like to lick apricot brandy out of your navel." "Hi. I'm Big Brother. I've been watching you..." "Would you like to join me in the Bahamas next week?" Did you have a color television when you were a kid? (Flesh this out with the old "settle an argument" trick, ask her what color Fred Flintstone's dog Dino is. This has *never failed* to generate further conversation.) You're "no parking", aren't you? (Another two-parter. Explain that you're trying to guess her sign. This is so stupid that it's almost bulletproof in the right kind of bars.) The cutest one I've ever gotten (from my current girlfriend) was after our first date. She got up and turned off the light, and then said, "Why don't you surprise your roommate and not come home tonight?" "What's your blood type?" I once had a lover confide to me that many men had told her she had a beautiful smile, but I was the first to say she had a "terrific grin". "Wow, I like your jeans. Did you design them yourself?" "Let's have breakfast together; shall I call you or nudge you?" "I can't help noticing that you left your peas." "If you went swimming with me, I'd lick you dry." "My appendix is about to burst, would you drive me to the hospital?" ------------ Rob Mitchell {allegra,ihnp4}!mtuxo!jrrt
