"I hope you're not a monk, because I'd love go Tibet with you." Cue sound of detonating bomb.

Our friends at Lonely Planet recently compiled a list of the best worst travel-themed pick-up lines, via Twitter. The results are hilarious, as well as cringe-inducing. Some of our favorites:

"This may not be India, but since I saw you, I've felt like I'm in Lucknow."

"You must be from Paris, because you're driving me in Seine."

"Hey girl, you're looking Varanasi."

"Would you allow me Dubai you a drink?"

"Did you overstay your visa? Because you've got 'fine' written all over you."

We were always taught that puns are the lowest form of humor. But it seems there's a time and a place for everything (we were also taught not to use cliches in our writing). Here's hoping these come-ons give you the, uh, tools you need for a great Valentine's Day. Good luck out there.
