MG, with every post I like you better. Ya got ol' Amos hot under the collar about "Have a nice day"! I usually say, "Maybe", just to confuse them, rather than what I'm thinking ("I got your nice day, right here!"). I figure I'm following in Pete Seeger's footsteps- he said he got so sick of people automatically saying "How are you?" that he always answered, "Struggling". I really loved that recent commercial where all the New York City boneheads in a bar are saying, "Howya dooin', howya dooin'" to each other, and then the "rube" from out of town proceeds to actually tell the guy how he is doing. "Well, I'm doing just fine, thanks for asking...you know, I got up this morning and the weather was so nice, and then.....bla bla bla."   Totally boggles their "minds".
