d of a man in action—a man walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say？ He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right."

It starts him worrying a little. First thing, you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel？"

But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to catch a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's not time to ask him that silly question.
