actual conversational exchange

[jaeclectic]

me: hey, how's it going?
neighbor: fine, how are you?
me: oh, fair to middling
neighbor (confused): fair tune medley?
me (slowly with emphasis): fair . to . middling
neighbor (still baffled): oh
me: see ya

note to self: just stick with "fine thanks" from now on

Hahahah! I think the next time you have this conversation with your neighbor, you should answer with "oh, bun sprocket walrus."
