I therefore have to ask this question frequently. "Are you serious?" Or in the alternative, a statement with an implied question mark at the end - "You can't be serious!" When people ask me "How are you?", I always ask back, "It will take about fifteen minutes to tell you. Do you really want to know?" Another question, "How are you doing?" Elicits this response from me - "I stopped doing a long time ago. How about you?" For obvious reasons, this question is no longer asked to me. "How do you do?" I inevitably used to answer, "The missionary position. How do YOU do?" People generally do not take me seriously.

As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering.

When you eat it you get heavy too. I was talking to a friend in the eye doctor's office who told me she was getting a quadruple heart bypass the next day. When he came to take her to her room (to wait some more), he asked, "How are you." "Good" she said. When they ask me, I tell 'em. I noticed on the bus the answers used to be "GREAT!", then "Good", after that "fine" & now I hear "I'm hanging in there.". Bread falls to the floor buttered side down because butter is heavy.
