Is That A Wocket In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
I think that they make antibiotics for this.
The other night at the bar (why is it that so many of the good stories start off this way?) I was approached by a random girl and heard the best pickup line ever. She looked me dead nuts in the eyes and said, "Is that a wocket in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" What does one say to that? Really, I want to know. Suggestions are welcome. I opted to go with, "Actually, its a sock."
Now before you judge me, remember that I had less than a second to think of a response. Also, remember that I am prone to blurting things out before the editor in my head can catch them. At least it was better than the response that I gave to the last "best pickup line ever."

There I am in England visiting friends and I am wearing an obnoxious bright yellow Cheerios shirt. I am not sober. OK, so that is the set up. While standing there minding my own business I am tapped on the shoulder. When I turn around it is a cute English girl and she just looks at me for a couple of seconds, I guess for added drama. Then, very matter of factly, she says, "Hmmm...I would eat you for breakfast." My response? I think that I just drooled on myself. I don't remember really. What I do know is that later that night, I ended up falling about 20 feet into a narrow hole and there was no cute English girl at the bottom of it. What happened to the first girl you ask? Well, evidently she doesn't like socks (and for the record, I have never had nor will I ever have, a sock in my pants).
