A common Greek greeting

A common greeting in Greece is: Που είναι παπούτσια σου; Βρέχει!  (In Greeklish: Pou ineh papoutsia sou?  Vrehy!)

Now, before you bust this out at your local Greek festival, I should warn you:  It does not mean "How are you doing?  Good to see you!" but "Where are your shoes?  It's raining!"

*sigh*  I suppose I should really try wearing shoes.  My sandal-wearing ranks right up there with pocket protectors and taped-together glasses.  But they are so dang comfy!
