    Depends upon the situation, but I find "Buck up bucko" doesn't work very well.

    Yeah, and "suck it up schmucko" doesn't work any better.

    If someone tells me to 'calm down', I see red. I rarely get worked up so that phrase is generally patronizing and unnecessary.

    I like to say 'it could be worse; it could be me'.

    "Well, how was your day today?"
    Or...if it's a woman, "Wanna have sex?"

    Whaaaatt?  I can't believe if you're upset, and a woman walked up to you and asked you if you "wanna have sex" you wouldn't want to drown your troubles in her.   

    We need to have a serious talk young man.

    I'm thinking he meant if it's the woman who's upset, she wouldn't want to be asked that question. Of course we would because we're horny old broads who need to get jumped.

    OHHHHH!  How silly of me to misunderstand.  You're right.  My dreams would be realized if that happened.

    Me too. I'm thinking maybe I should go outside and tell random men I'm upset.

    Don't bother.  I've tried that already.  They'll only offer you their used handkerchiefs.  :-(
