Da theory of a perfect "catch-phrase" is largely non-existent, since (A) everyone is different, and so an approach dat might be attractive/alluring to one person might not work for someone else, and (B) many folks prefer dat you just "be yourself", and so a "canned come-on" would likely be largely ineffective for them, since they would want to know how you truly think/feel, not merely how well-read you are in da art of "making friends and influencing people".

1. Da despicable strategies dat Garfield resorts to in his efforts to get his own way.
2. Similarly-disgraceful acts dat a merely-sperm-donor-level male parent (i.e., "deadbeat dad") performs to arrogantly/selfishly make others do his bidding, avoid child-supporting/raining responsibilities., etc.

Bill Clinton has apparently fathered many "unacknowledged"children ("Honk if you HAVEN'T slept with Clinton"), but in his typical pawthetic lack of caring or responsibility, he has just let said had-his-fun-with-and-then-left females struggle to raise said love-babies entirely on their own.

Perhaps if you vocalize a ballad in a really awful way, folks in da Middle East will actually toss you copious quantities of domestic coins just to get you to NOT assail their tender eardrums with said awful liracs!

The best that could be expected regarding some object, business-establishment, locale, or condition somewhere in the famous --- or maybe "INfamous" would be more fitting way to describe it --- "birthplace of Dallas".
Idealey, John F. Kennedy's motorcade should have included a bulletproof-glass shield over the presidential limo, a different route should have been chosen, it should have been moving faster, and there should not have been any stops along the route of travel.

Red Green and his crudely-macho buddies must have considered their lodge-mascot animal to be really opawesome, since their meeting-opener motto --- Quando omni flunkus moritati --- translates to, "When all else fails, play dead."

A "secondary" or "colloquial" term for the "weapon of choice" among soldiers and firearm-enthusiasts alike.
Some sportsman like to try out all these new-fandangled plastic/resin-bodied target-rifles, but I always prefer da good ol' A.K.A.-47 --- it's cheap, reliable, and easy to service and get parts for.

"The desirability of and/or your need for an item at a garage sale will be in direct inverse proportion to the likelihood of your actually being able to purchase it."
The four most common/infuriating occasions when Murphy's Law of Garage Sales holds true:
(1) A desired item is something that's just stored in the family's garage; it’s not one of the items for sale.
(2) The item has already been sold, and the homeowner is just “holding” it till the buyer gets back with either the money or a vehicle to transport the item to his own home.
(3) The item is too expensive, and the seller will not budge on the price. (Note: this is not always an "all hope is lost" situation --- you may have at least two additional options. First, try coming back again later in the day to see if the item is still unsold --- if YOU think that the item is overpriced, then most OTHER yard-sailers may think so, too, and so nobody else may have bought the item yet, either, giving you a second crack at possibly purchasing it at a reduced price, especially since by now the seller may likely feel a bit "desperate" to get rid of it. And second, have a glance at the trash-heap out front of the person’s house that evening --- sometimes unsold yard-sale items will simply be tossed out, and so you can then get them for free.)
(4) The item is something that you would logically want to test out first to make sure it operates satisfactorily, but there is no hookup for electricity/water/telephone/internet/antenna/audio/video at the site of the sale, and the stubborn owner will not allow you to either bring the item into his house or temporarily take it somewhere else to test it.
