What are some good questions to initiate conversation with strangers?

I like your "insert item here," where'd you get it?

<Point to female> "Would you SIIHP?"

(and actually pronounce it SIP)

Then swap 2+2 handles.

after introductions, and possibly upon any sort of uncomfortable silence (this seems to be the part of the hand that the hero is asking about), it's worked with a great success rate to randomly blurt out,

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IMPORTANT I AM TO THE ECONOMY?" Hopefully they will be drunk enough to just laugh and respond with something like, "No, but come back to my room and show me."

Ship it.

Do you have any tattoos or scars? or is your skin unblemished?

Where do you wish you were right now?

I usually like to make them feel like there's nowhere they'd rather be than right there with me. if I ask them that, then they think of all the [censored] theyd rather be doing ("hmm, acutally, now that I think about it, some ice cream and a book would be nice") and then they want to [censored] me less.

But, it's all about how you sell it, you can say almost anything within reason as long as you really own it. and I don't mean own it like "oh [censored] bitch I just schooled you" but own it like just really be yourself and be cool with who you are, and they give you the [censored] for free.

I meant to edit it, but ended up deleting it by accident.

It went something like this:
