The Line

Ok, so last night I was standing before one of my most beloved eateries, finishing a very fun telephone convo with a friend whenout walk to nice looking men.

They were a little rough, looked as if they had enjoyed a brew or two but altogether not bad looking.

As the shorter of the two passed me he said "How you doin?"

People, it has been a long time since I got a "how you doin" and remember, I live in the woods - not Jersey.

I politely responded. Then I went inside to eat with my family, telling them of my brief, yet ego boosting encounter. Through dinner, whenever I'd say anything to the hubby - he'd say "How you doin!" Made for some interesting dinner conversation.

Anyway, I'm doing just fine. That line was well appreciated, I can assure you!

I'll have to remember that line when I come to pick up my pie.

OMG! This had me laughing because this line (from the character Joey in Friends) always makes me crack up when a guy uses it on me.

It also reminded me of something along these lines that happened to me in an elevator last year. The guy was 70, toothless, had a couple of strands of hair on his head and was walking with a walker. my response to his "how you doin'" was "I'm doing good, but judging from your grin you're doing better"

Old Man: Hey, any day that I wake up still alive, able to walk and can still see to check out pretty girls is a great day for me.

It's all in the perspective I guess. But yes, it is nice for the ego too.

That one little phrase has brought many an abashed grin and a soothing afterglow to many women. But also, an arching-glance from a cryptic wife when the husband says it to a very attractive woman…
