There’s a Brendan Fraser movie where he uses a line like, “Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help me… I seem to have lost my Congressional Medal of Honor around here somewhere.” I’ve always wanted to use that. One young lady approached me and said her friend offered to give me one of her shoes if I gave young lady my number. It was so random that it would have worked even if I hadn’t been checking her out a few minutes prior. I didn’t accept the shoe. ---

A friend went up to a woman in a dating bar in Boston and said “I’m an economist, and this looks like a marketplace to me.” I rather doubt it worked. He is an economist though. ---

Not sure if this really counts but here goes: About 15 years ago me and a buddy of mine were hanging out at a beach bar and a girl and her friend came up,to me and said that I looked like the ‘pool boy’ from the resort in St Bart’s that they just got back from. Well, for some reason (I think I,must have recently watched Mel Brooks History of the World) my smart ass response was ‘well, you look like a bucket of shit!’ Both my friend (who got the reference) and I promptly broke into hysterical laughter - nothing better than cracking your own self up! The girls definitely did not get the reference - but our cracking up must have done something right because we spent the rest of the week showing the two cuties around and hooking up. Loved being a bartender in a beach town for the summer! My friend always remembers that story as the one I picked up a girl telling her she looked like a bucket of shit! ---

As we’re going through the checkout at the grocery store where I work, **Zyada** tells the cute young cashier “Watch out! He’s a terrible flirt!” I reply “She always says that! I thought I was pretty good.” _(Cashier laughs a little. …beat…beat…)_ “So, how _you_ doin’?” The cashier cracked up, and would probably have gone out with me if I were single and forty years younger. Ah, if I’d known then what I know now… ---

It was so random that it would have worked even if I hadn’t been checking her out a few minutes prior. I didn’t accept the shoe. Yeah I like that line a lot too, it’s pretty slick. I’ve never used it, but it’s one of my greatest aspirations. Just so you know Fraser’s character in Blast From the Past is repeating a line originating from a comedian named Jackie Vernon who was active beginning in the 50s. It goes along with how Fraser’s character has only been exposed to pop culture up to the early 60s. As for myself, I saw it’s already been posted (most good pick up lines have been well-traveled anyway, right?) but I’ve always liked “Well here I am, what are your other two wishes?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-original-pick-up-line-youve-heard/400509.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-original-pick-up-line-youve-heard/400509.md?page=5)
