It worked

I think pick up lines are hilarious and believe they should be used everytime someone is looking to talk to someone in a bar. One of my favorites is: person 1) "Hey, do you have a bandaid?" Person 2) "No sorry...why?" 1) "I scraped my knee when I fell for you." Isn't that great? I have used that one and it did work. The lady was some 30 something year old gym teacher on Nantucket, so she was a little outside of my target zone. But conversation was good and my friend Joanna got her wish of me using a pick up line that night.
Last night while out with a couple pals we inadvertainly used a pick up technique and were succesful. We were at a bar and standing behind a girl. One friend, Nick, asked Aaron and I how tall we thought she was. We guessed and of course assumed that Nick would then ask this girl who had no idea this was going on behind her how tall she was. Aaron won and we went on to talk to this girl for quite a while. Somehow integrity came up and she rated us on a scale of one to seventeen. In her mind I had the most integrity. That was funny.
We then met this girl who told us Chicago was land-locked. WRONG! On our way back we ran into a girl I met the other night who went to Conn but I had never known before. She was with some friends and some dude who was acting a little possesive as to say, "She's mine and there is no way you're going to take this from me." I think that explains it. But he had his arm around her and seemed pretty upset that we offered her chips and pretzels. That type of attitude just shows that the dude has big self confidence problems. If he knew that the girl was his (I don't know if she is but it didn't look like it was a bf/gf thing) he would have been cool with it and had some laughs with us rather than putting his arm around her and trying to usher her away. And I'm done.
