If I'm in a shitty mood I sometimes my reply to the mandatory: "Gidday mate, how are you?" is "Actually, I'm feeling like shit and have a lot of stuff on my mind, I'm so grateful you're here to listen!"
Usually ends the conversation... Don't ask if you don't care!

I've found that a good way to sort out who makes for interesting partners for intellectual intercourse is by bringing up something slightly controversial without any warning whatsoever. If they get shocked and loose the beat you're most likely stuck with a boring partner - if they take it in stride and pick up the ball you're set for some fun!
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. - Joseph Rotblat
