White Noise makes a good point. It's just like comedy--it helps a lot to know your audience.

For instance, I would NOT recommend asking this, unless you're as certain about your partner as I was about the lady in question at the time. (I later learned that I was wrong to feel so certain, but that's another story. One of many....)

"So, what was your name again?"

This, of course, fell into the categories of things to say during (or, in this case, after) sex and comedy. You really should have a good idea of where you stand. Also, it helps to be an experienced smart-ass like myself--kids, don't try this at home.
