Hilarious responses to 'how are you' that are way better than 'fine'
The question “How are you?” can be so pure on its own, but over time and extensive use it has become something of a mindless greeting, often met with the equally mindless response, “I’m fine, and you?” Sometimes that response comes from feeling that the other person isn't looking for a real answer, and sometimes it's because people don't want to go around telling just anyone how they really are. But if you're not interested in telling the truth, then instead of blasé interactions you can still subvert people’s expectations and give them a response that they’ll laugh about for days!
Click through to see some of the wittiest, silliest, and cleverest responses to the ubiquitous question that will spice up your dreaded small talk.

"My psychiatrist says that I shouldn’t discuss it with strangers"
A little eye twitch goes a long way with this bit!

"It’s too early to tell"
Squint your eyes and look suspiciously around as if you’re just waiting for someone to come and ruin your day—this works best around annoying colleagues or at family events.

"Slowly but surely dying"
We all are! What’s funnier than a little reminder of our imminent mortality, right? This one is wonderful at parties.
