Why Hello There Good Lookin'

So a few weeks ago I was watching a Knicks game with my father one night and this was of course a very stupid thing to do seeing that the New York Knicks absolutely suck this season, but I was bored so I did. Anyway, I was watching it until the first half was over and it's about twenty minutes or so until the second half starts so the commercials came on and normally I flick through the channels during the commercials because, let's be honest, who actually sits through and watches the commercials? So I'm flicking through and through until I get to an old African-American sitcom, Good Times. I sat and watched the episode because for the last two or three years or so, I've really been getting into old sitcoms from the seventies and the eighties and this show was really funny. 

I cannot remember which episode it was, but I do remember one of the main characters, J.J., a real flirt and not so attractive guy, but a womanizer nonetheless, try to pick up a girl with really outdated smooth talking. I found his poor attempts to flirt highly amusing and even though the girl totally rejected him, I was interested to know more about corny pick-lines that guys think works on girls.

When my father switched the channel back to the Knicks game, I wasn't even paying any attention to the heartbreaking blowout the Knicks were facing, I was too busy spurting out cheesy pick-up lines. 

Here are some of my favorite ones and my immediate responses to them.:

- No wonder the sky is grey today, the blue is in your eyes. (My eyes are brown, but thanks).

- Your body is 65% water and I'm thirsty. (I don't get it. Just kidding).

- Hershey's makes millions of kisses a day...all I am asking is a kiss from you. (To which I would respond, I do not like chocolate. So I don't have a kiss. Sorry).

- Do you live in a corn field, 'cause I'm stalking you. (I would totally use this).

- Can I borrow your cell phone? I need to call animal control, because I just saw a fox! (But I live in New York).

- If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you. (I'm going to die single).

- Hey, somebody just farted...let's get out of here. (It was me).

Of course, guys don't really say these things, at least I don't think they do. Most guys make it really hard to tell if they like you, but some do make it pretty obvious. Contrary to a lot of girls I know, I would love if a guy told me a corny pick-up line! It would be cute and funny and I'd get a laugh out of it.

Problem is, sometimes I don't get. 

Well, anywho.
