"If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
Now that is clearly an awesome pickup line, and anybody who disagrees just doesn't understand romance.
Are there the equivalent of pickup lines that one ought to intersperse throughout one's cover letters? Little verbal hooks that will make the SC think that you are a driven researcher and an inspiring teacher? This will only be good for next year (or the VAP season), but would anybody care to share their best cover letter lines?
(I'd also be interested in hearing from members of SC's about the worst lines they've ever read.)

Not one I heard as an interviewer, but blurted out by a friend at an interview, long ago: "Can you see the beach from the classrooms?"
no good lines -- but where's the action on the wiki?? I thought today would be the day.
I am getting wiki vertigo; wiki sicky.
I wish colleges and universities weren't so finicky?
