Default A good pick up line!!!

The below in our Sydney Gumtree:

I'm a journalist and I'm going on a photography assignment to Canberra next week....
Staying at the Hyatt Canberra (5star). I'm looking for an adventurous lady who might like to come with me.
It won't be boring, I promise. Its a grand in hotel charges alone. All expenses paid. Good food, big fluffy bed and adventure during the day. Not mandatory, but some knowledge of photography would come in handy.
Leaving Sydney at 8pm Monday, coming back by 9pm Wednesday
.

I just wouldn't have the front to try this. (and my wife would castrate me if I did)

What is your pick up strategy?

Cheers,

John W

For someone so desperate, he's being a bit picky for even adding the line - "some knowledge of photography would be handy."

But I guess if it's his turn to be photographed in the bedroom, someone has to press that shutter button.......

Nah, any self respecting photographer would use the remote.

Is this the modern version of "let me show you my etchings"

In Australia napkins are things that go around a baby's bum. This puts a whole new meaning on you quote. ha ha

This guy stole my strategy....

Fake massage parlor inspector demands rubdown
Associated Press

Posted: 03/31/2011 02:32:25 PM PDT

NEWPORT BEACH-- A man is charged with demanding a rubdown and $200 while pretending to be a massage parlor inspector.

Orange County prosecutors charged Edward Justin LaPorte with felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of impersonating a peace officer and firearm violations. The 47-year-old faces arraignment Friday in Newport Beach.

Investigators say LaPorte is a former police officer from Illinois. They say he was wearing a badge when he entered the Golden Spa massage parlor in Lake Forest on Jan. 31 and told the manager he was investigating a complaint.

Prosecutors say he then complained of back pain, and a masseuse gave him a back rub before LaPorte asked for a frontal massage, which was refused.

No phone listing could be found for LaPorte and court records don't list an attorney for him.
