absolutely, cause if Bobs your uncle you cant go wrong.
In 1887, British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, appointed his nephew Arthur James Balfour as Minister for Ireland. The press had a field day when he referred to the Prime Minister as “Uncle Bob”.[1] Balfour later went on to become Prime Minister himself. This theory claims that to have "Bob" as one's uncle is a guarantee of success, hence the implied meaning, "and if you do this, you cannot fail."

Not MY Uncle Bob -- he's a womanizing alcoholic who has been arrested for DUI too many times to count. No way I could count on him to point me in the right direction if I end up losing my way.
