Lines

Painting the lines on the bottom of 50m swimming pools was the favourite. Never used it though. Always worried what sort of scrag would be turned on by that ****.

Try " I'm a freelance astronaut......."

Then try explaining the fact thats theres not much work around at the moment.

Not that much different from the truth really!

Why would one need to make up a profession? Surely ones personal charisma works.......

When I was doing my Basic Parachute Course in Nowra, 4 of us managed to convince some of the young "lovelies" in town that we were doing the BPC because we were....

Combat Hairdressers (Because the General needs to look good on the DZ)

(This line had a 25% strike rate)

As I recall, most of the ones I worked with had moustaches or ginger hair. So not very!

Mind you, as far as being sexy to the opposite sex went they had the advantage of smelling less than a stationhand...

Just do what i do tell em your a field agent who works in alternative medicine and shut up.

Soon will come a reply after they have dismissed you work for the feds.

Who For, You reply you wouldnt beleive me if I told you. Then you say you want a lie of the truth.

OK Then here goes nothing, but iam expecting you will leave immediatley OK!

I am a field agent for a mobile hands on mammogram unit from Qld and where conducting free mammograms at the clinic from 8am in the morning if your interested in your health. It s professional and descrete you dont even have to give us your name if you dont want to.

The laughter follows so you get up go to the bar and give em the I told you you wouldnt beleive me look as you walk away. You return to you seat and ask them what they do. (key your mates up first because they will be asked when your gone)

9 times out of 10 they say do you really to that. Prompt reply YES but again ask what do you do? Always put it back in their court. You will again end up talking about your job.

It has a great strike rate, if you can remain serious (a fake business card is also a good idea with a few MDs and other flash letters printed on it)

I could have followed through heaps of time but didnt because Iam married and happilly so.

Another Idea which worked for me and a mate was to make up some RALPH nametags (scan RALPH for Mag Cover) and put your name (not yours) on it and Club Photographer on it and carry you small digital camera when you go out.

Take the pic, get their name address and all other contact details available including Mobile number, as you may need to call them if you decide to use their picture in the next mag.

They all want to be in RALPH ensuring they hang off you all night so to leave a lasting impression so you dont forget them. There will be other benefits available to you to jog your memory. The idea has a fair to good strike rate. Always remember take some photos of blokes to so you dont blow your cover.

Have fun lads.

Pilots get girls to but not often.

Copy the golden shovel girls.

Wink

"I'm a pilot"

Thats gotta be the worst line ever, truth or not.

Suggesting you are a speed hump at a McDonalds carpark should get a better response.

You could tell them you make hand made specialty furniture from natural timbers collected from already fallen trees.

Great conversation starter, of course somewhere along the way (if you like them enough) they are gonna find out that you earn as much as speed hump @ Macca's so you better make up a line to swing in what you really do.

ohh i thought this was about pilots sex appeal? ,, but thats cool i prefer to talk about how to pull dirty growlers anyway!! as we all know the femie pilots all want to get to the box office as soon as posible so once your working for a company and go to a flying school to do a renewal or someting you just track down some up and comer femie and say youll get her a job initially a mangement posistion (yeh a head job) fill her with red then pump like youve never pumped before. obviously dont give her a job theyve got it easy enough as it is,.just dangle the old blue vein carot..

This one actually worked:

Her: so what do you do??

Me: I'm a confectionary designer.

Her: What???!!

Me: No, true. I design ice-creams. Bubble-O-Bill was one of mine.

Her: Really? What got you into that??

Me: Well, I was a trained confectioner, but I wanted to do somthing for kids.

Her: Really?? Hey me too, I'm a pre-school teacher...

Get the picture..?

Along similar lines.

"I work for Arnotts. I am responsible for the recent re-design of the Iced Vovo."

talk about lots of travelling (
about bikky taste tests in the old peoples homes
bore them with sugar to ginger ratios
say that they wanted to put in this chemical flavour, but you would not let them as it was addicitve

etc etc.



There's also:
Penguin psychologist.
Traffic Light technicians. Works well in a place like Kununurra - 700 kms from the nearest traffic light. If they are that stupid to fall for it, well you can say just about anything to them.

Question Why are we different?

Here's a question and anyone is free to comment -

Why is it that when people (not necesarilly girls) eventually find out your a pilot (no matter how long you lead them on that your a 'Condom test pilot' 'a dolphin trainer') - when people find out you're a pilot they treat you differently - like you're somebody else, like your not human - like they don't WANT to get to know you?

Surely I'm not the only one who has noticed this?
