She didn't say under what circumstances , and that approach works best when you have a gun in your hand, then they really pay attention to you :) Sorry Cop Humor
don't listen to the cop, he can't get his mind off work.......no offense dude..........you need to lighten up, there is life outside the job............, just try, "Hi, my name is................", works pretty well.

As someone else recommended you could always send a flower or private message to someone and tell them that you liked their profile or their forum posts – people like being flattered so they are bound to reply even with a simple “thanks”.
Or alternatively, you can write:
“Hi, I’ve just been released from a maximum security prison for the criminally insane were I spent most of the time stamping number plates and weaving baskets. However I am now totally reformed. Say that again and I’ll drill your kneecaps. Is this your mother’s address? Sorry, slight relapse…”
Mind you, it doesn’t always work and it tends to put some people off. Can’t think why.
