He greets you everytime with a 'Howdy' - it's hard to keep a straight face. I'll record a conversation on my mobile sometime
Reminds me of a joke I once heard...
A cop in central London sees a guy in full cowboy getup, including hat, spurs, and a brace of six-shooters, ambling down Picadilly Circus. He walks up to him, saying "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The cowboy replies, in broad Western drawl, "The name's Tex, officer". The copper puts on his most sarcastic face and says "Oh and I suppose you're from Texas?", to which the cowboy replies "Nope! Louisiana!"
"So why're you called Tex then?" says the cop.
"Wouldn't wanna be called Louise now, would I?"
