It can get boring to show up at work and greet your friend with the same old "Good morning, Aaron" or "Good morning, Joe" every day. Somewhere along the way, somebody changed it up and threw in a "Howdy."
Which turned into "Howdy, pard."
Thus started the daily ritual of non-conventional morning greetings. Whomever spoke first, the other guy had to counter. The exchanges sounded like this:
