Oh ok. I think the lamest come-on that I can remember was this guy who was from France (well, he said he was. Maybe it was a fake accent ) came up to the bar where I was standing and his opening line was: "Would you like to see my watch? It's worth $10,000."    I woulda laughed in that guy's face and walked away--or maybe quoted Marcel Duchamp, "Time is my capital, not money," and then walked away...
Sounds like the kind of line my Chi-town friends would have eaten up though... (They were in their "I need to find a rich husband before I'm 30" phase when I was most annoyed with them... )[Edited 9/7/06 6:11am] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

[Edited 9/7/06 6:11am] Maybe I looked like a gold-digger or something. I just remember saying, "Oh, that's good to know" and walking away to tell my sister who was standing nearby what had just happened. Then we watched him for a while as he tried that line on other girls. I could see him at the bar showing his watch off again.  Idiot!  No shame though I guess. Can't blame him for trying.
