I need more hilariously awful pick up lines to make my wife roll her eyes at me

I'm running out of content and need some help. Some of my notable favorites:

  • Hey girl, are you a microwave? Because mmmmmmmmmmmmmm (doing my best to imitate the hum a microwave makes).

  • Hey girl, are you a parking ticket? Because you have FINE written all over you.

  • Hey girl, if you were a fruit, you'd be a fine-apple.

  • Hey girl, did you change your name to Campbell? Because mmm mmm.

The feel I'm going for is delivering these with lots of very exaggerated eyebrow raises, often times finger guns, and my best Johnny Bravo voice.

    Hey, is your name WiFi? Because I'm feeling a connection.

    Hey girl, I must be Hamilton because I'm not throwing away my shot with you tonight.

    Hey girl, are you tired? You've been running through my head all night.

    Hey girl, we need to hang out, I have a vitamin U deficiency

    Hey girl, were you forged in the fires of Mount Doom by Sauron? Because you look Precious. (Gollum voice optional)

    Hey girl, are you blocking a river right now, because dam (could backfire, tone gets you through it)

    Hey girl, you dropped your name tag. Hand her a packet of sugar

    Hey girl, are you the ebola virus? Because you're threatening my bodily fluids with forceful evacuation.

    Hey girl, are you a centrally located duplex home with a driveway? Because I want to park my car in your garage, seeing as there's no street parking available, especially during the busy summer months when all traffic is a chore and you just want to get away from the city, you know?

        I'm in my "forgetting stuff" era. The middle one was inspired by this one comic, whose name I have (temporarily) forgotten. He told okay jokes, but what set him apart was his insistence to keep talking after the punchline. Really daring stuff. The extra spoken stuff was funny too (the only one I can remember is "Yeah, dinosaurs had really tiny brains, like the size of a walnut."), but because the audience was laughing, much in the same way this comment had everyone rolling in the aisles, they missed all the extra parts.

        What was that comic's name?

        Sure, but it's less specific, doesn't have the away baby that really allows the emphasis to grow as you make the statement. My wife knows and I want to make it clear that I'm staring at her fantastic ass.
        "go" is more subtle, subtlety isn't the point here, the point is that often enough she'll giggle and then back up to put her ass in squeezing range before she then leaves to go do whatever she originally intended to do.
