I have an Uncle Bob AND an Uncle Dick. But I have no relatives that are either trout or DiChi’s.

I do have a cousin-in-law that lives in the same town as **BDoT** , is that close enough?

Was his last name Evans? If so, **Shirley Ujest** has eaten at him.

Did you guys, you know, do it?

And I too have an Uncle Bob. I don’t think he eats at Bob Evans, though.

Thanks, I now have an image of **Bosda’s** family tree, entirely composed of either trout or middle-aged balding men named Bob.

Another flame, hopelessly deteriorated into very funny but not-really-on-topic tangents. Enough of Bobs and trout.

Locked.

I have never had an Uncle Bob, and I still don’t.

**Finagle** , seriously, back to the OP, if you think that was an “incredibly snotty” response, worthy of holding a grudge for 18 months, you’re obviously new here… despite the post record. I mean, c’mon, interpretation of the tone of a post is as much in the eye of the reader as it is in the fingers of the typist.
