The Pickup Artist Ted is sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartender. It's a good night, not too crowded, but a steady stream of customers. The door opens and a homely guy walks in. He takes a seat at the other end of the bar, orders a beer, and sits there sipping it. The bartender walks back, and Ted says, ""There's a guy who's leaving alone tonight!"" Even as he speaks, the hottest girl in the room walks up to the homely guy. They chat a minute, then leave arm-in-arm. ""Man!"", says Ted, ""what luck!"" ""He's a regular"", says the bartender. ""Every night, the same thing, he leaves with a different woman, never here for more than five minutes."" ""No way,"" says Ted, ""What's his secret?"" ""Beats me. He just walks in, orders a beer, and sits there licking his eyebrows.""
