Commuting - Help me with a punchline

So I'm crossing a ped bridge on Prince's Island yesterday. It's narrowed due to some construction, four 20-something year olds are walking towards me, so I dismount to make the pass safe. The cute one says, "Thanks for dismounting!".

Did you want a punch line or a pickup line?

It won't do you much good now (unless you're still standing on the ped bridge looking at the young cutie).

This whole thing is very Costanza-ish.

"The jerk store called; they're running outta you!"

This whole thing is very Costanza-ish.


The cute one says, "Thanks for dismounting!".

"I was swimming! Don't you know about shrinkage?!"

I never pass by a lady in the saddle?

"Thanks for noticing."

But you're probably looking for a pickup line, how about following that with "haven't I seen you walking over this bridge before?" or something.

I used to see these 2 older ladies every day going over a bridge and I always say good morning to them. Don't see them anymore now, either they're working elsewhere or they're dead.

"It allows me to bask in the glow of your presence for a few moments longer!"

Thanks for the beautiful view.

Or...

I can't mount you if I'm still on the bike.

To quote myself if a situation such as that ever occures: "uh......... hey....uh.......[insert random giberish here]...uh pretty lady....uh"

I'm rarely coherent enough to engage in conversations while cycling.

"It's a common courtesy when I pause during these long, long rides."

"May I have the pleasure of dismounting you later?"

"lol let's have secks"

"You should see how well I mount." And just look her directly in the eye.

"Wow, you know the right word for it! Do you ride too?"

If she says yes, ansk her on a ride sometime...

But I'm not good at pickup lines, so you probably don't want to listen to me.

"I always dismount before things get too dangerous..."

What about. . .

"Oh, I get that ALL the time from women."

This whole thing is very Costanza-ish.

"The jerk store called; they're running outta you!"

But to answer the original post...hmmm...I got nothing.

"You're welcome, beautiful" would do nicely.

No need for anything catchy or contrived.

Thanks for the replies, I was shocked to see it generated more than a few posts.

It's a toss up between Bockman's
"May I have the pleasure of dismounting you later?" and superdex's
"You should see how well I mount." And just look her directly in the eye.

I think I'll go with superdex for the win!

I've been thinking about this all day after reading the original post this morning. All I came up with is:

"That is honestly the first time I've heard that. Usually they want me to stay on..."

"I had to dismount, I almost fell over when I saw you!"

OR

"I'm in the middle of a big bike race and I'm so far ahead, I'm gonna WALK the rest of the way"

That's all I have, I was wittery (is that a word?) this morning. :rolleyes:

Ok, i have a better one. Simply lick your lips repeatedly, blink rapidly, all the while mouthing the words, "You're DEAD!" while making a cutting motion with your finger across your throat.

Just give her the finger.

What about. . .

"Oh, I get that ALL the time from women."

Or the inverse:

"I'll bet you say that to all the guys you meet."

;)

"Just dis mounting? How 'bout da udder mountings?" Then wink.

"I'm sorry, I thought I just brushed you."

Or the James Bond line from Thunderball, "Well I've had quite a bit of practice."

Of course it really helps if you look like a young Sean Connery when you say it.

The fun has to end sometime.

point at her stomach. "ha! I just put a baby in you!"

I also like superdex's, but I might simplify it by just saying "I'm better at mounting". And anyway a nice smile is always a good start.
