You only get one chance to make a first impression. We recommend you avoid the following icebreakers...

'Dutch Courage,' is where, while having a fortified spirit, some of the greatest pickup lines in the world are dreamed up. Then fools become drunk enough to use them.

My policy is to avoid people who are obvious substance
abusers. If you can eliminate them early on, it can
save you a lot of aggravation and time.

There used to be the idea that the best place to use 'icebreakers' was at a hotel. From memory that was the plan at the start, but I've heard the best ice breakers are at the supermarket.( I don't think that's news.) There's so much inspiration.
Bad ice crackers just crack the ice, good ones melt it.
It's funny the way being introduced can cause a 'freeze' and suddenly an 'icebreaker' is the first thing that enters the head. Sometimes listeners can crack ribs laughing.
In Australia if your mind goes blank you just say G'day, ( unless you've been stunned)
Sometimes that's all it takes, but you have to mean it.

When someone makes a comment referencing
"Hannibal Lector", it's time to head for the ladies
room.

"G'day" That's a great exit line. I'll remember
that for future reference. It's more classy than,
say, "f**k-@ff"
