B: Not in the slightest.
A: Good to hear. We need more like that.

That's a very good suggestion.
I do think the dry humour sounds a bit more British than American, to my ears, but that might be mere prejudice against popular dreck, more of which is associated with the US than other countries primarily because more entertainment is published in the US.
And, of course, it's not as if some of the Caribbean British recruits might not have diction and sense of humour more in line with their Commonwealth allegiance than their geographical location in the New World. And there is one former SAS man associated with the venture, albeit as an armourer and not active hunter, at least these days. Not to mention that there
are American humourists whose humour is dry and understated.
I'll certainly put 'The
Disagreeables' on the list.
