OK, here it is...along with some MORE unique answers...

"HOW YOU DOIN'?' 

There it is.  The most asked question is out there. Now, HOW do you answer?  In my cross section of everyday people today, when asked--not surprisingly--the overwhelming choice is "good and you?." Do they REALLY want to know? 95% of everyone I asked said "good" right back.  They wanted it short and semi-sweet.  My personal answer was "better than a Mayan working on his calendar." That got several strange looks around here.

But wait!  There's more findings.  If you want the same ol' same ol' boring response, just ask average folks.  BUT, if you want real entertainment value, just ask a salesperson who just attended a Get Motivated seminar.  I got "excellent" and the ever-popular-but-over-used, "FANtastic." I heard a "spiffy" and "ducky" once each, and "livin' the dream" twice.  I didn't ask "what kind of dream?" But personally, I prefer the salesperson classic, "UNBELIEVEABLE." Open ended.  Prompting the asker to inquire more.  But not me. I'm afraid that it will get worse with "dandy like cotton candy" or "peachy keen." Don't forget the dreaded "better than sliced bread."

So I asked on air for some creative answers to the questions. Once again, ya'll did not disappoint.  In the spirit of the Geico "pretty happy" ads on TV

If I were any better, Brad and Angelina would be adopting me!
If I were a car, Jay Leno would be collecting me!
If I were a drug, I’d be illegal!
I’m so good, my feet are six inches off the ground!
I’m so good, the next hybrid car will run on me!
I’m better than Barney Rubble at a shoe convention!
I’m better than Joan Rivers at a plastic surgeon’s convention!
I’m so good, motivational speakers just show a picture of me and then leave.

Good, yet cheesy stuff.  I have now been inspired to respond to the afore mentioned salespeople with, "Hungry!  Time for you to buy me lunch!"  To which THEY will respond again..."UNBELIEVEABLE!"
