"And do make it a great day."
A call from the nurse by answering machine to remind of a doctor's appointment. The nurse's final words surprised one to hear:: "And do make it a great day."
OK, it's a medical appointment; a positive closing statement is not necessary or expected. "Have a great day" is a cliche and out of place in any case. But a sign-off that's a thoughtfully different twist warmed me to hear and brought a smile.
I think the main reason is the contrast between "have" and "make," a reminder that I'm the one who's responsible for causing the great day to occur!
