You need to get away from the idea that there is an ideal icebreaker. There isn't! Remember, the article suggests that you "practice" by talking to all sorts of people, not just the ones you are interested in. It won't really matter as much if you say the "wrong" thing.

Well, I was sure I was going to get fired for sexually harrassing a 70 year old man.
