    Just as the ducks at the park are free, there is also no legal requirement to answer the phone in particular way. Hit folks with a, “Ahoyhoy”, “Howdy”, “Whats good brother?”, or for the more adventurous, “Ralphs Roadkill Cafe. You kill it, we grill it.”

        Mine is somewhere between yellow and howdy. If you call a Texas Drunk you should be prepared for a “Yeowdy”.

        In my family it was variations of “Hello, Joe’s whatever. Insert rhyme here.”

        One of my favorites was “Joe’s mortuary, you stab 'em we slab 'em.”

          “Jimbo’s Fish Fry; you hook 'em we cook 'em!”
