Various Salutations.

“How do you do?” That’s English and American. "How do you carry yourself?” That’s French. “How do you stand?” That’s Italian. "How do you find yourself?” That’s German. "How do you fare?” That’s Dutch. "How can you?” That’s Swedish. "How do you perspire?” That’s Egyptian. “How is your stomach? Hava you eaten your rice?” That’s Chinese. "How do you have yourself?” That’s Polish. “How do you live on?” That’s Russian. "May thy shadow never be less.” That’s Persian—and all mean much the same thing.
