The next time someone asks you the question "How are you?"
Try saying: "well the knees are aching and the back could be better, didn't sleep so well last night...."
Then observe the blank look on their face
How are you?
Well the sun is shining... all is well
Actually have a bit of an ache in my neck, didn't sleep too well last night, my right arm is burning as I drive it gets too much sun.
(in England we have right-hand-drive, I sit on the right of the car with my right arm getting more sun)

I call it "the moment of silence" when you give a real (shocking) answer. At least you can check if he/she listens.
PS: We all know the guys which don't really want an answer. It's just a synchpoint to start THEIR talk.
PS2: My gf works for the evangelical church (office). A girl from out favourite pub (we know here for years) asked her about her job. I jumped in and told her "exorcism". She wasn't even wondering. I'm waiting for the day someone else is asking me if this can be true BTW: Same girl went to NYC and was wondering why her parents had given her some "egyptian dollars". I let her show me the "strange dollar notes" I think you know why she was thinking that, don't you ? ? ?

My "Boss" always starts a conversation with me, when we meet for the first time of the day, by asking... "Alors... tu t'en sorts?",
Something like, "So, are you getting it done (free translation, dont push me)... And I always answer... "NO, I have this problem and that problem to solve, ant this and that... as usual!" And he just laughts and says, "comme d'habb"

That reminds me of the "casual " phone calls I used to do to my Parents in Portugal from France... 95% of the entire 10mins call were either about the weather or about someone they knew that passed away...
Too early to tell.....??
