Does that EVER work? Even in Maine...

We had a company office party last week. One of the sales guys I work with was sitting next to me in the restaurant and eyed the waitress. "She's really cute man..." he said to me.

I told him (mistakenly?) that her name is Mariah. With this new piece of infor he walks up to her with his drink. I tried to get her attention, but failed. They talk briefly. She laughs...he laughs in agreement and walks away.

"Shot down..." he says.

I ask what he said to her.

"There is a problem with my drink...it didn't have any NUMBERS IN IT"

WTF!!!! That is SO WEAK!

I went up to her later and told her I was trying to get her attention when he approached her. She asked what I was trying to tell her and I said..."I was mouthing the word RUN!"

Anyway, I've heard some bad pick-up lines, but that takes the cake.

Incidentally, when I resort to a line I always say "I know you'll find this hard to believe, but...I put the seat down when I am finished." Never fails ;)
