It was a 7th grade girls rec game and at halftime, he asked her, "So....which one of these players is your sister?" He was smiling when he said it and she "got it". She laughed and said, "That's the worst pick-up line I've heard in a long time." He just laughed too, and walked away.

When I got home, I mentioned it to my wife. She gave me one of those "you've got to be kidding" looks. Her comment - "that's pathetic".

A better comeback would have been to ask him if his partner was his brother.
