Breaking the ice

The act of risking your life for the sake of one stupid, horribly delivered pickup line.

*goes skating on frozen lake*
*skates next to crush and starts stomping on ice*

You: "Ask me what I'm doing"
Crush: "What are you doing?"
You: "I'm breaking the ice"

*silence*

Crush: "Oh yeah baby take me right now"

*you both fucking die*
