2 complete fails of mine
in my defence i was young, naive and a geek

1. chatting to a girl in the local park, maybe 12
she tells me her name is 'Abbey'
thinking to flatter and flirt with her, my best line is
"woah that's like the bank Abbey National'
sadly about a year later I heard my mate say the exact same line!

2. PGL holiday (adventure camp) in final year of primary school (so maybe 11) we go canoeing, instructors are women and they hold a competition whilst we are floating around in the canoes
"who can tell us the best chat upline?"

Around me some guys are dropping things like
"i might not be fred flintstone, but i can make the bedrock" blah acceptable

me? turned into mr. tomatohead, never been so embarrassed, all i could say is
" Hello"
i dont know if her hand was on her face in mutual embarrassment or to shield her from the new energy source eminating from my beetroot face!

fail!

Chortle-worthy that is. Good job.

PGL
At least if you had your oversize 'Piggle' on you could cover your face.
