Baseball bat

I don't know why it gets to me, but when I ask someone in passing, "How's it going?" and they reply, "It's going." I just want to start swinging. I am being serious. It lights a fire deep in my stomach, and I have to use all my strength from lashing out physically or verbally. Please come up with something else to say. It is not witty, it's not funny, it makes Brian mad.
