This reminds me of my Dad and his brothers. They would talk about things like this. They would say Yup and Mm-Hmm. Also a little Hank Hill in there. Your story made me smile. Congratulations!

Hey Darrell,
I have witnessed this myself. You nailed this one, and it made me laugh out loud. My Uncle Bill would have been the "Yup." LOL

Smiles, Kevin
