I've always loved, "what's so morning about it?"

What are other people's favorite humorous responses?

Always a fan of Gandalf's response to Bilbo:

> "What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"

> What are other people's favorite humorous responses?

"For a given definition of 'morning'."

There's Eeyore: "If it is good. Which I doubt."

But I knew a guy who didn't answer with words. He would just growl until he'd had coffee.

  • That sounds like me. There's a 1:1 correlation between how many cups of coffee I've had and the number of languages I speak.

    And like a true computer nerd, of course it's an unsigned integer, meaning if I drink too much coffee I'm back to grunting only (this time on the toilet)
