Hey recommend some things that I can say in reply to people at work who ask me how I'm doing. I need to start using something other than "Good (or some variation), how are you?". Sometimes I say "Fair to midlin'" because I work in WV.

I sometimes say "GREAT!" with a big smile and a thumbs up. Also good is to make up some horrible and tragic like "Besides the testicular cancer, not much."

I need to start having clever responses like "Good, but I'll get over it". When you ask one guy "What's up?", he'll say "Everything but my rate of pay". That's funny.

I always just reply with "I'm good," in a slightly strange, slightly ironic accent.

Haha, I can't be that weird about it. I try not to do or say anything that a robot wouldn't do but at the same time be funny or clever.

Depends on the mood I'm in at the time, but if they're the type with a sense of humor, I'll make up this bizarre story, such as:
"Well I'll tell you: On my way to work, one of my tires blew - forcing me to the side of the road. As I got out to change the tire, this big-ass nigga decided to rob me. He pulled out his knife and said: 'Give me your wallet, bitch!' I told him, all I had were cereal coupons to donate at work later on. He gave me a weird look and said: 'That shits whack, man! You're poorer than me'. He walked away disappointed, and I was able to resume the changing of the tire. ... So, how are you?"
Other times when I'm tired or in a hurry, I'll just say: "Who wants to know? or "Whats it to you?"
Or maybe something more interesting like: "I'm glad you asked me that! A hooker followed me home last night ..."
etc.

"Well. I am well."
"Splendid."
"Generally pleased."
Man it's hard to think of responses that don't involve "Good"...
Even those ones are retarded

I usually reply 'decent'.
And I never ask the other party how they are doing, unless I really care. Which is rarely.
