A man was in a bar late one night and noticed a beautiful woman sitting at the other end. Feeling confident after a few drinks, he decided to go over and talk to her.
As he approached, he tripped over a bar stool and fell flat on his face. Embarrassed, he quickly got up and tried to play it off as if nothing happened.
The woman, clearly unimpressed, said, "You know, you should be careful. You could have hurt yourself. Are you always this clumsy?"
The man, trying to make light of the situation, replied, "Well, yes, I am actually. But it's not my fault. It runs in my family."
The woman raised an eyebrow and asked, "Clumsiness runs in your family?"
The man nodded and said, "Yep, it's a hereditary condition. In fact, my great-grandfather was so clumsy, he tripped and accidentally shot President Lincoln."
The woman burst out laughing, realizing the man was just trying to make her smile. She ended up giving him her number, and they lived happily ever after. And the moral of the story? Sometimes, a little humor can go a long way in winning someone over.
