Model Melissa Stetten makes a regular habit of tweeting about the hilarious pick-up lines dudes try on her (sample: "A guy told me he wants to clean my pussy teeth with his sonicare. Umm, where do I sign?").
So when the man in the seat next to her on her red-eye flight from Los Angeles started his routine, she started live-tweeting the entire encounter. Her followers managed to piece together the clues from her tweets and guess that it was the actor Brian Presley. Presley has been quiet on the matter in the 24 hours since Stetten's tweets went out to her thousands of followers.
