You should see my column inbox. It’s like a big depository of mad, crazy, wonderful insanity.
Sunday’s column was about the lost art of the pick up line and the mails have been pouring in ever since. I’ve picked out a few that I thought you might enjoy.
The first was astonishing, in that it came from a 91 year old man named John:
Hi Paige,
Really loved your ‘pick up’ lines. Reminded me of my early days – I’m 91 now.
Here from those days are two that sometimes worked; “Excuse me I’m a stranger in town…I wonder if you could direct me to your place” and “You remind me of someone I should know”
Kind Regards,
John
Oh John, my my. I’m not sure which to be more impressed at. The fact that at 91 you’ve got emailing waxed, or the fact that at 91 you’ve still got game!
Except shortly after that mail came through, he sent this one:
Appologies! my wife advises me – for what it’s worth – I am only 81!
I got this one the other day and it pretty much floored me… “Hi, are you looking for a stud? Coz, I have the STD all I need is U!”…. after putting up with 5 minutes of my hysterical laughter he finally shrugged and wandered off!!
