While most of us answer with an uninspired 'I am fine, thank you,' the universal greeting question — how are you? — can be tackled in some really interesting ways. Depending on your mood and relationship with the other person, you can go one of many ways. For instance, a friend will be amused when you sarcastically reply, 'Not today, Satan!' However, 'I need to take you back about 12 years to answer that question. Do you have a minute?' is perfect for lunch-time banter with colleagues. So, ditch the mechanical responses and adopt the witty and fun replies to keep the conversations exciting!
