"Can I help who's next?"

(The standard line you will hear from the server in 25,000 Tim Horton's Donut shops all across Canada.)

The last girl that said it to me, I smiled and said, "Ah! You wish to render assistance to the next person in line? Excellent. I am that person. Now, let me see....what do I want tonight?"

She was not amused. They always expect you to be in as big a hurry to be done with the encounter as they are...

Yes LH, that is often the case, although it depends on the person and their circumstances. Sometimes they appreciate more than the automatic response.

I tried it out one day at the supermarket checkout and I was glad I did. The gals and guys at the checkout always say "How are you today?" They've been told to say it, obviously. The most they expect back would be a mumbled "All right thanks" or "Fine". One day a particularly tired and bored-looking girl at the checkout asked me the usual question. I'd had a particularly shitty day myself, and decided to actually say so, instead of the usual mumbled answer. So I said "Well actually, it's been a b****r of a day!"

She was surprised at first, then smiled, and we actually had a proper conversation like a couple of human beings instead of automatons. By the time I left, we BOTH felt better.

How are you? When asked this, my mom used to say,
Well, I have this owie on my toe I'd like to tell you about.

I use it often now too.

How far to the next bathroom?
How far to the next food place?
Can I kill my brother/sister yet?
How come he/she is always first?
How come he/she always gets what he wants?
Why is her piece always bigger than mine?

"Whaddya know?"

They seldom ask me this twice, as I begin with
"It takes a hell of a big dog to weigh a ton."

and proceed to

"If two systems are in relative motion with a uniform linear velocity, it is impossible for members of one system to ascertain by observation or measurement of phenomena, anything about the other system, other than that there IS relative motion."



also: "What's up".....answer.."Down....have you priced good sleeping bags lately? Down is WAY up!"

Oh...by the way. One of my pet-est peeves is about radio talk shows where they allow listeners to call in questions and remarks. I'll swear ¾ of callers seem to feel it is bad form to begin without asking "Howyadoin'?" first!!!

"Go ahead, Sam in Tulsa, you're on the air."

"Ok, howyadoin', Mike?"

I am WAITING for Mike to say, "The same as I was doing 5 minutes ago when Joe in Buffalo asked me...and 10 minutes ago when Bob in Oshkosh asked me...just FINE!"

"Have a Nice Day"

" DONT Try to tell ME what kind of day to have, you grinning imbecile"

Groucho's reply was, "I'll have any damn day I please." (So I say 'have the day you want')

One Uk jock's response to a radio caller's 'How are you?' is, 'My health is not in question.'

Autolycus said, in relevant part:

Groucho's reply was, "I'll have any damn day I please." (So I say 'have the day you want')

That reminds me of the first or second grade teacher who, in art period, said, "Today I want you go draw me a picture, about anything you want to draw about."

A shy little girl comes up and whispers, "Miss Chumley, do we have to draw what we want to?"
