My mates chat up line was “How did you get such a fit body?” after she had explained, he would just say “I was hoping buying you a drink would do the trick”. It worked on a couple of occasions
Used to be that, if you wanted to know what time it was, you’d look at your watch, and if you wanted to make a phone call, you’d use your phone. Now, if you want to know what time it is, you look at your phone, and if you want to make a call, you use your watch.
Considering the way Pig seems to be staring at her chest in panels 2 and 3, I expected her to say something quite different (although still using the swear word).
I have to wonder what percent of Americans could NOT tell the time if they looked at a ‘normal’ clock? Then, to really fk them over, ask the same question when looking at a clock with Roman numerals.
A good technique to starting a conversation with anyone is to make an observation about something around you. It can be anything from the weather, your location, something they are wearing.
When the woman says that Pig should look at his phone, she’s really saying that she knows he’s trying to pick up on her and she wouldn’t even give him the time of day.

If someone came up to me and asked me if I know what time it is, I would just say, “Yes.”

I actually forgot to bring my phone with me the other day when I went out for a few hours. Felt a bit strange, but somehow I survived.
But if I want to know what time it is, I look at my watch. Quicker than hauling my phone out of a pocket, even if I remembered to bring it with me.
