The Most Daring Pickup Ploy Since Larry Craig

From the Washington Post’s coverage of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appearance at the United Nations:

An Iranian reporter asked Ahmadinejad how he could say during an appearance at Columbia University on Monday that there are no homosexuals in Iran, noting that she knows a few herself.
“Seriously?” he replied. “I don’t know of any.” He asked for their addresses so the government could “be aware of what’s going on.”

That’s one way to get someone’s address.  Just imagine how it plays out: “So what do we say we grab dinner out and a movie?  I’ll have my Gestapo pick you up around eight?”
