First Impressions

You only get one chance to make a first impression... unless you're hitting on a blind girl.

Say you're at a bar trying to win the favor of the non-sighted object of your affection.  So you're dusting off the old sure-fire pickup lines, but for some weird reason they don't seem to be working.  The good news is you can walk away, come back a few minutes later, talk in a different voice, and try again.  You could raise or lower the pitch or try a different accent.  If you're really good at doing voices you might have a whole lot of chances to make the perfect first impression.

What's that?  Not so fast, you say?  Blind people are really good at "seeing" people by using their sense of touch?  She'll just feel you're face and know it's you, you big jerk.  Fortunately you can prepare for this eventuality.  Grow out a full beard before you go hit on the blind girl.  Then, after you get shot down in flames, go into the bathroom and shave it off completely.  When she feels your face the second time she'll think you're someone else!  Okay, so you got rejected again.  This is where having a good wingman comes into play.  You get a friend to stand silently behind you while you're speaking in, say, an Irish accent .  Then when the time comes for the big "let me see what you look like" moment he steps in and takes the face-feel for you.  Still no dice?  That wino outside looked like he'd let someone feel his face if you buy him a drink.  Eventually something's got to work, right?

I love how you're already planning on striking out with this hypothetical blind girl.  Maybe deaf chicks are more your speed?
