CHICKS DIG IT!!  REALLY? WOMEN SECRETLY LOVE CHEESY PICKUP LINES?
                                             
Although many women claim to find them disgusting, researchers have found almost two thirds of women actually like it when a guy uses a cheesy pickup line on them. Almost four-in-ten women have gone out with a man who approached them using a cheesy line, with one-in-ten even going on to have a long-term relationship with them. The survey also revealed 59% of women think a man using a pickup line shows he has a great sense of humor, with another 58% saying it shows he is confident also. Surprisingly one-in-twenty women even reckon they'd be MORE likely to go out with a guy if they came out with a pickup line to impress them. However, they did also say this likelihood would increase significantly if he also happened to be rich and good-looking.

Top 20 most commonly used pickup lines:
 
1.  Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
2.  Apart from being beautiful, what do you do for a living?
3.  Shall we talk or continue flirting from a distance?
4.  Nice dress, it'd look good on my bedroom floor
5.  I miss my teddy bear. Would you sleep with me?
6.  Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?
7.  If I told you that you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
8.  I seem to have lost my number, can I have yours instead?
9.  Is it hot in here or is it just you?
10. Hi. I suffer from amnesia. Do I come here often?
11. I'm a frog but if you kiss me I'll turn into a prince
12. Is there a Rainbow, because you're the treasure I've been searching for
13. I hope you know CPR... Because you take my breath away

It's estimated that 30% of Americans have one of these.  What do they have?
See the answer below.

OK...I'M NOT A LIAR BUT I LIED WHEN I SAID I LIED...AND I'M NOT LYING...THIS TIME!

Levi Johnston, former fiancee of Bristol Palin, former EX fiancee of Bristol Palin, former, former EX fiancee of Bristol Palin, former Playgirl centerfold, says he's NOT LYING THIS TIME.  (You know you're in trouble when you say...THIS TIME...I'm not lying!) He is TAKING BACK his apology and his insistence that he lied when he said bad things about the Palin family.  Bristol, of course is the daughter of Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska and former candidate for Vice President and former IN-LAW TO BE of Levi...OK, you get the picture.
Well, when Levi and Bristol, who are parents of a little boy, decided to get RE ENGAGED, Levi denied all the bad things he said about the family.  They've since broken up again and now he says he was just lying about lying.  OK...THAT makes me want to believe you.
You lost me at PLAYGIRL...
