Like the Soldiers Say

[snurri]

HELPFUL NOTE: If you insist upon greeting me with "Keeping out of trouble?" every time you see me, be warned that this is a question of such banality that I cannot be bothered to muster a civil response.

The same goes for "How's it hanging?"

What bugs me is when I answer a vapid question with an equally vapid but atypical response and the questioner takes umbrage.

For example, when someone asks, "How are you today?" and I respond, "Doing okay."

Often I will get, "Just okay?" in response.

What the f!$k am I supposed to say?

Give the most outlandish response you can come up with.

"I was doing all right until the Percoset wore off."

"TODAY WE ALL DIE!"

"Not as good as last night! Hahahahahahahahaha!"
