“Are we there, Yeti?”

“Are we there yet?” is the classic question that children sitting in the back seat of a car ask a parent (in the front seat, such as the driver) on a long road trip. “Are we there, Yeti?” (using the name of the Abominable Snowman) is a joke on the saying.
 
Are We There Yeti (2005) is the title of a New Zealand comic strip. Are We There, Yeti? (2015), by Ashlyn Anstee, is the title of a children’s book, and a 2015 song based on the book was written by Emily Arrow and Ashlyn Anstee.  Are We There, Yeti? (2015), by Kerry Morris and Taylor Freshley, is another book.

“If they ever find the Abominable Snowman I’m going to hire him to be my chauffeur so I can sit in the back and say, ‘Are we there Yeti?’”
     
       
Wikipedia: Yeti
In the folklore of Nepal, the Yeti (/ˈjɛti/) or Abominable Snowman (Nepali: हिममानव himamānav, lit. “snow man”) is an ape-like entity, taller than an average human, that is said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.

Are We There Yeti?
By Al Batt
He moved to the Greater Hartland area from Soso, Mississippi. He came here because life in his Mississippi town was just so-so.
 
He told us he was an abominable snowman researcher, a man who studies yeti, bigfoot and sasquatch. We believed him. We had no choice. We know that it’s not polite to call a man a liar. You don t make or keep friends that way.
