Girl: *sigh* I look awful today!
Guy: No you don't! You look absolutely wonderful!
Girl: No, I don't. Stop being nice.
Guy: I'm serious, you do! You're the most beautiful girl in the world, you couldn't look better!
Girl: I guess... but I'm stupid.
Guy: No you're not! You're 50 million times smarter than me!

road fishing 

When lacking a decent place to enjoy alcoholic beverages free from interference, road fishing is a final option. This act consists of driving around the countryside with a cooler full of beverages, allowing all passengers to 'fish' out and enjoy drinks hidden from public view.
