When people ask "how are you" the proper response is always "fine"

13. Welcome to DU

I was an RN in an intense heart unit and I took a look around. My coworkers were also the walking wounded and represented a wide range of diseases from cancer to MS to AIDS. Two of my bosses had lupus and we spent evaluation time comparing our drugs.

You just never quite realize what other people are dealing with sometimes. Life is tough, even if you're one of those infuriating people who is never sick.

However, on those occasions when you're sick of lying and want to be non committal, you might as well do it in French. The pronunciation is close to "comb see, comb saw" if you didn't suffer through as many years of it as I did.
