    Politeness, buddy, politeness.

    if people like those call you or you face them somewhere. simply ask their telephone number and ask, "and your full name?"

    tricky.
    If you think you CAN, you can, If you think you CAN'T, you are probably right.

    Ask a good friend of yours who will not tell the other person about your blunder. Has worked for me
    Get this small utility to do basic syntax highlighting in vBulletin forums (like Codeguru) easily.
    Supports C++ and VB out of the box, but can be configured for other languages.

    Ask how much they weigh. Then say you don't believe them and make them show you their license. Works especially well with women.

    Does the drivers license show how much you weigh?

    Yeah... height, weight, eye color, etc. is included as a physical description.

    (So don't get caught driving a stolen vehicle with Yao Ming's license... if the face doesn't give it away, the height will)

    yeah but weight is something that can change, I mean, its just stupid to harrass someone on the road for losing 20 kilos due to tapeworm..

    But in this case I had to introduce them there and then ... you know like all three of us 'facing each other' and I am the one who is supposed to 'know' the 2
