Such a flirt

I'd like to think that if i was ever mugged, I could flirt my way out of it. Sure, I fail at this every weekend with bartenders and bouncers, but that's just to save some money. With a mugger, I'd be trying to save all my money. So much more at stake -- literally, tens of dollars. I'd start by complimenting my mugger. "My, that knife really brings out the metal in your teeth," or "your pink eye accents the many blood stains on your shirt. Way to coordinate."
