Subject: Stumped:beginners question

I'm having a hard time with both getting my branching correct as well
as my loop.
In this little program, the survey taker asks expecting a "yes" or
"no" (currently not working correctly). If any other response is
given, then the survey taken says..please answer with yes or no...

I commented out the return at the end since I'm not even sure what that's doing.

TIA
Stuart

$stdout.sync = true

def ask question
    reply = nil
      while (not reply)
          puts question
          reply = gets.chomp.downcase

      if (reply !='yes' || reply != 'no' )
          puts ' Please answer "yes" or "no".'


      elsif reply == 'yes'
          reply = true
      else reply == 'no'
          reply = false
      end
    end
end

#reply # This is what we return (true or false).
#end
