One of the many hats we wear as photographers is the job of directing people for portraits and groups. Some of us try to assume the role of a stand-up comic for this purpose. When I was a young whipper snapper I had the assignment of shooting a group of electrical engineers. I set up the shot, everything was going well until I delivered my one liner to "loosen up" the group. I said "OK guys, stand tall and try to look intelligent." CLICK,FLASH: the faces in that image haunt me to this day. They were pi****!
What is the worst one liner you have ever used, or heard?

Yup, us electrical engineers don't have a sense of humor.;)
The worst one-liners are those at the end of the intro to CSI.

I asked the workers at a cheese factory to say, you guessed it , "Cheese".
Didn't get one smile.

Does anyone remember Rusty Warren? "Knockers up!" to a slouching female.

Ah, yes. Rusty Warren. Classic songs like "Bounce Your Boobies."
"And sometimes they're so close knit,
"You'd almost swear they're one big... (long pause)...
"You rhyme it your way, I'll rhyme it mine."
