Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

Don't know if it's a chat up line... While in college a mate had gone home with a girl one night and the following morning she was dropping him at the station he was getting out of the car and she said, 'but aren't you going to ask for my number?' He closed the door, lent back in the window and said 'you know what, I'm going to let fate decide if we meet again'... and walked off...

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

I don't believe there is anything BarChick doesn't know...
