I think that great fun, and some non-small benefit, can result from overturning the usual banal greeting questions.

A late friend responded to, "What do you do?" with "I don't *do*, I *be*!" Assuming that didn't frighten them away she would then go on to talk about the things she was doing, why they were important to her, and finally, "What do you *be*?" (complete with that peculiar wording).

Her favorite answer was, "I... I'm not sure. Let me think about that."

An interesting approach to both connections and self-understanding, but a bit off-putting for those living the unexamined life.

Cheers,
