Pedicabbie pickup lines

Lately I've been trying out a Christmas variation of my three-second sales pitch: "Come take a ride on my one-horse open sleigh New Orleans style!" As always, the goal is to get fares -- but failing that, at least a smile. A couple of pretty ladies have rewarded this new slogan with a smile plus a snappy comeback.

"Whoohoo!" one shot back as she walked by. "I bet you say that to all the girls!"

"Yeah baby!" another responded enthusiastically. "You're the stallion!"

Come to think of it, the three-second sales pitch is a pickup line in the most literal sense; so I suppose these are the kinds of responses I should expect.
