I would say hi and try not to say anything that would reveal the fact that my brain is misplaced...

I usually apologize and confess that I'm having a total brain fart, and ask their name. Most often, they're very cool about it, and volunteer every speck of information about themselves, to help me remember. No one likes to be "unmemorable"!

That actually happened to me when I was younger. I was in plays all the time, and people would come to me and greet me and I had no clue who they were...

That happens all the time for me. I just admit that I don't remember and it usually ends up fine.

I would say, "If the Good Lord had intended for us to walk He wouldn't have invented roller skates!"
