One of the standard mantras of our culture is, “Hi, how are you?” We invariably answer, “Fine.” I have been trying to get away from that. I will use something like, “Marvelous!” At the same time I am open to the masters of the one line.
I don’t know if this will develop into a series but if it does I want to start with Dave Ramsey. I do not listen to him on my own. My wife will have the radio on in the car and I will pick up part of his broadcast on occasion. I will see clips of him embedded in things I read. In spite of that little exposure he has introduced me to a great one liner.
When asked how he is doing Dave Ramsey will answer, “Better than I deserve.”
That is an attitude I am working on. I think it would be great if we all recognized it.
