Ten Conversation Starters in Airport Lines for Men

1. Those are great looking shoes. Can be followed up with my wife has some like those. (If you're married it let's the woman know you're not hitting on her)

2. Can I help you with that bag? Only works when she really needs help. Like when standing in ticket line moving a space or two at a time

3. It looks like the line is moving pretty fast today. Again only if the line is moving fast. Can be changed to "I think I've spent my _______ in these lines. Insert "vacation", adulthood, best years of my life, etc.

4. Would you hold my place while I go to the bathroom? Caution, this is only to be used if absolutely necessary. No woman wants to talk to a guy with a weak bladder for very long.

5. My wife (girlfriend) sister says that flying is getting much safer now. Remember to be positive.

6. It's got to be cooler (warmer) where we're going don't you think? Again just fit it to the situation.

7. We were amazed at how easy it was to get in here to the airport today, how was it for you? OK, here you're potentially opening up a can of worms, but if you want to talk to her you might have to listen to some gripes about traffic.

8. Excuse me would you mind holding my place in line while I go to the bar? I'm not sure I can take this sober! Careful here, know your subject and you'll do OK. Otherwise it could be a trip to the TSA office and a strip search!

9. Did you know that Lemmings don't really follow each other off cliffs?

10. I'm not normally a line person, I prefer circles.
