After greeting most patients I usually get the standard, Good, Okay, Alright, Ect. Well today I had one that took the cake.
Optician: "How are you doing today?"
Patient: "Everyone I can, and the easy ones twice".
I could help but laugh. I hope this isn't to explicit to post. Had to share though. How about you guys??? What are some of your best Greeting Responses.
It'll happen when you least expect it!!
Hi how are you?
Good,how high are you?
I'm good.
I bet you are... ;)
Couldn't help but think about my faithful annual patient who answers to "Hi Mr. Smith" with "Not yet". Gotta love the old stoners.

Someone else "Hi"
Me "No but it would help"
Someone else "Good Morning"
Me "Whatever"
Me "How are you today?"
Patient "Not dead yet!"
Me "How did you scratch your lens?"
Patient "My arm flew up over my head as I was walking down the street when the tv towers downtown shot their laser beam at me."
There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

Woody: Can I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson?
Norm: A little early, isn’t it, Woody?
Woody: For a beer?
Norm: No, for stupid questions.

Cute.
I wouldn't use this as a greeting per se, more as a lifestyle question- Are you married, or happy? The ladies usually respond, with some vigor, "happily married". Interestingly, the guys usually stumble on this one a bit. I think it's a Three Stooges line, which might explain a few things.

Thank you so much! You're as welcome as a hair n biscuit!
When I worked at a pizza delivery joint we had all kinds of crazy crap we'd say on the phone to entertain ourselves. I'm waiting for the right patient to use my one of my favorites:
'We'll have that ready for you faster than a boar-hog mounts a sow ma'am. :)
