I was asked that this morning and replied with a serious look "well I'm dying" Then smiled and said "it started 53 years ago, but still I'm not getting any better!!!"
WHEN SOMEONE ASKS "HOW ARE YOU" THE EXPECTED RESPONSE IS "FINE"; I'M ALWAYS TEMPTED TO BE HONEST AND SAY "MY SCIATICA IS ACTING UP AND I HAVE A GIANT ZIT ON MY BACK AND..." SO THEY NEVER ASK AGAIN
