What is the accepted etiquette when one is out for a drive with one's wife
and a passing car yells "She's a beauty!" ?
Reply "Thanks, we love our Triumphs", or "Thanks, we've been married a long
time" ?
In my case, I can lie about the year of the car and reply "Thanks - she's in
great shape for a 1958 model", but it never sounds very convincing........

Dear Confused:
Fish only get caught when they open their mouths. A simple equally ambiguous
"Thank You" is adequate and prudent.
