YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Linguists have the best pick-up lines -- aside from the overused "cunning linguist" one, there are all sorts of double-entendres on "tongue" waiting to be had. The only catch is they make maximal sense when the target doesn't speak the same language.
E.g., "Trust me: as a linguist, I'm skilled at mastering other people's tongues."
