Insanity is hereditary: you get it from your kids

I owe, i owe, it’s off to work I go

I can’t resist…  
[hijack]  
and for all you gals out there (young and beautiful like me 🙂 ) Rebuttals for pickup lines!

for example,  
guy: I know how to please a woman  
girl: then please leave me alone

guy: i want to give myself up to you  
girl: sorry, I don’t accept cheap gifts

Guy: you look like a dream  
girl: go back to sleep

Guy: I can tell you want me  
girl: yeah, i want you to leave

guy: i’d got through anything for you  
girl: lets start with your bank account

guy: your place or mine?  
girl: both. you to your place, i to mine

guy: is this seat empty?  
girl: yes, and this one will be too if you sit down

guy: haven’t I seen you someplace before?  
girl: yeah, that’s why I don’t go there anymore
