2. “Pardon me, I seem to have lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?”Maybe this was funny around 1910 or 1915—back when the telephone was a novel appliance. It does not inspire smiles now, only scared and doomed looks.
3. “You must be a broom because you’re sweeping me off my feet.”Maybe your dad used this one on your mom and for nostalgia’s sake, you’re bringing it out again. Nostalgia does not get you dates, only pity.
4. “Do you have a license? Because you’re driving me crazy.”Caution! Watching too many stupid teen movies impairs your judgment. This probably sounded clever to the person who swiped it from an Annette and Frankie beach party flick.
5. “I gotta thirst and baby, you look like my Gatorade.”Generally, comparing potential dates to food or drinks is not a winning move. “I had a guy use this one on me and I rolled my eyes and walked way,” says Susan, a marketing representative who doesn’t usually go for lines. “But a couple of weeks later, I saw this hot guy at the gym and I used that same line and it worked! I guess there are gender preferences when it comes to lines. He was really flattered, where I was insulted when it was used on me.”
6. “Are you lost? Because heaven’s a long way from here.”Maybe angels like this one, but real women don’t.
7. “Are you religious? Because you’re the answer to all my prayers.”Prayer is something that anyone who uses this tacky line desperately needs.
8. “Can I take your picture? I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas.”This line is popular with both men and women who think references to Santa are cute and charming, which are qualities that they never possess personally.
9. “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?”“A stunning woman I had been staring at used this on me,” says Mark, a tawny-haired, gregarious copywriter. “I know it’s an old one but it took guts to say it. I’m afraid I happily fell for it.”
10. “Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?”A personal favorite, this one takes a certain amount of arrogance, as well as delusion, to pull off.

I found the above on msn online and it gave me a good chuckle. Granted if any of the men below said any one of those lines to me....I would be putty in their hands LOL.

I haven't heard anything too outrageous in my time however I did get "Can I borrow a quarter, I have to call my mother to tell her I met my future wife." Has anyone heard any funny lines in their time.....or even better, used one????

Here's a quarter, you better call your momma, 'cause you ain't gettin' home tonight.
Okay, its take a lotta balls to pull that one off. Usually I use to old standard Hi, would you like to have a drink with me?
The only time I approaced women is when I was drunk, I don't know what I said.
I know I have asked girls if they wanted a ride in my limo.
I don't watch "Survivor", but that new bachelor guy is cute, although he seems like a complete meathead! haha
I think if a guy uses one of those lines with a sense of humor it would work...
A girl once told me I'm hot. I thought that was funny. I think she was way drunk.
WIGSF, yes normally, hello my name is works like a charm. Good approach.
BB, I can only imagine what you came up with.
JLee, I suppose if someone was kidding it might work, but if they were serious...no way!!
Wiwille, awww haha!!
My theory on pick-up lines is that the guy is trying to determine how dumb/drunk you are to see if he can take advantage or your stupidity/drunkeness and give you herpes.
usually i observe from a distance
then just buy her a drink and walk away with out saying anything...
it gets their attention and curiousity going
A good friend of mine in college had amazing luck with, "Hi, wanna %$?" His alternate line at bars was, "wanna get drunk and %$ or don't you drink?"
Bad ones I got in college were:
"Nice dress (or pants... I got this one a few times) but it would look even better crumpled up on my bedroom floor"
"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
... something about rearranging the alphabet to put "u" and "I" together.
And one time on spring break a guy asked me if I'd like some sex on the beach... and even though I said "no" he bought me that drink that has that name.
Recently the only thing I've gotten is that some guy walked up to me and said "You smell like heaven and pumpkin pie." I didn't really know how to respond but at least this one took some real observational skills since I did smell like pumpkins (though not necessarily "heaven").
Oh! But I did use a pick-up line (accidentally) recently. Sis and I were sitting at a bar and this really dorky guy walked up but try as he might the bartenders didn't come help him. He stood there forever and finally I said "You're gonna have to show some skin if you want their attention." It was sooo funny because his reaction was to look over his shoulder to see if anyone was standing behind him, then he replied "Me? You're actually talking to me??" He seemed sooo shocked and sis ended up talking to him for ages because she thought he was so sad and lonely. Even though it was unintended to be anything more than an innocent comment I think it really helped his ego since he confessed that the whole reason he was at the bar was to meet up with his ex-girlfriend and she had blown him off - again. Poor guy! Of course we did have to ditch him and go somewhere else at some point though ;)
So, I guess the moral of my story is that pick-up lines can sometimes be a good thing. Usually they are not though. I have never ever fallen for one myself.
Cute guys. But if they are on reality TV, I couldn't take them seriously. But they are still eye candy.

I read this same article at work this past week, and they're all fairly horrible (although depending on the month and number of drinks I might throw out the Xmas one and #10).
There are no good pick-up lines, although I had some filthy ones in college that should never see the light of day again.
PX, I like that :)
Mad Monkey..and that worked??
SS, oh the poor guy at the bar. At least you two were cordial with him, probably made his day!!
Natalia, I agree, especially when it comes to the Bachelor LOL.
2DP, oh come on, give us at least one.
How about:
Wanna go back to my place for pizza and sex?
What? You don't like pizza?
:P
