I'll be sitting in the passenger seat. Perhaps on my phone. My dad will point out to the street and say 'Hey'. Naturally this gets my attention. I usually respond with 'What?' He wont answer. I'll look over and he'll be pointing at a Truck transporting a large number of bales of hay. I look at him. Smuggest look of satisfaction on his face.

When my kids were little, every time we were driving and I would see one of the big rolls of Hay (it was usually straw, but whatever), I would say emphatically "Hey" and point.

Still works, twenty some years later.
