Cool Another "research"

I was wondering.

Do girls or women in the States tease men with smart little phrases , Lines as you call them ?

Or it is something that only men do??

My interest in strictly anthropological of course...

From what I've seen, the boys use the lines and the girls use the body language. Can't imagine why a woman would want to use a line unless it was drenched in sarcasm!

But stranger things have happened...

Hmmm I see.

So women play the fish in the States. In Greece they give sweet lines, no sarcasm.

I just needed to know, although I am going to live in the State of New York where according to an old but still in use law, flirting is forbidden...I think you pay a 20$ fineif they catch you...

Wink Uh, oh, I'm in big trouble now!

Oh, Athenaeus, you can't mean that! Why, I'll owe thousands to the State if that's true! (but it will have been worth every penny over the years).

Wait, is that only flirting with strangers? What if it's your own spouse??????

My hobby, or at least one of them, is to collect wierd ( aka for stupid) Laws...

Yes this Law really exists in the State of New York. Flirting is forbidden

Listen to another one.
In Montreal they are allowed to make only yellow margarine...
Old law , still in use though...

Stupid law?


In front of every commercial establishment there should be a post so that customers can tie their horses.

My husband's best friend goes by the nickname Baken (long story, don't ask). Well, he saw this girl one day that he was attracted to, and went up to her and introduced himself. She didn't seem too interested so he said "You know what they say- everything's better with bacon (Baken)". She just looked at him and said "Not if you're a vegetarian"
