    It’s all fun and games until someone develops an aspirin allergy.
    Cute story.

    Hahah! Men will say anything!
    I was at the grocery store yesterday and after I checked out, the bagger guy (teenager…kinda creepy-looking) said as he handed me my bags, “Thanks, baby, you have a good day now” and then winked.
    I may have ran away…I can’t recall.

    It doesn’t take much to pick up that McD’s girl, does it?
    LOL!

    It’s only a good pick up line if it worked…don’t leave us in suspense here, DID IT WORK?!?

    dave2: LOL!
    kapgar: I dug it, too. :)
    LSL: I see you’re sappy like me!
    shari: Guess that’s when you ask her out for an ibuprofen…
    Chase: Look at you – getting all the creepy teen baggers. LUCKY! (in best Napoleon Dynamite voice)
    sandra: It really was cute!
    hilly: Oh trust me, this man was a smooth operator. It came out very funny as opposed to nerdy.
    Gillespie: Well, he was still hovering around when I got my order, and she was awfully smiley. My guess is that it worked!

    Yeah when I was twenty I tried that line, and she said, “How ’bout if I just slap you up side the head real hard, maybe that will make your headache go away.”
    Well she wasn’t very smart–it did not work.

    Excellent. I’ll have to file that one away for myself. ;)

  12. teahouseblossom Says:

    Hahahaha..yeah, that’s a good one.
    Hmmm..Jenny, methinks you’re getting some spam in your comments.

  13. sizzle Says:

    he did show interest and thoughtfulness. i’ll give it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 , 10 being high for good pick up.

    See? That’s exactly why guys use those lame-ass lines – they work on somebody.
