Boy: Dad, when somebody says to go South or North or whatever, how do you know what direction that is? Man: You don't. You just ask if it's a left or a right. Boy: So why do they have North, South, East and West? Man: Just to confuse us, son.

My father had a built in compass. It used to annoy the hell out of me, mostly because I was born lost and stayed that way.

I practice holistic navigation. Never worry about north or south… just picture in your mind where you want to go and start walking (or driving). However long it takes you to get there is the right amount of time, and wherever you go & whatever you see along the way is exactly where you were supposed to go & what you were supposed to see. At least that’s what I told my folks when I was a kid and got home late.

NEVER give me N-S-W-E directions. ONLY tell me L or R. I will still get lost but not as hopelessly.

You are not lost, just taking an alternitive route.

Not lost – just temporarily befuddled for three or four days.

No good on freeways. Almost all of the exits are on the right, whether you want to head north or south…

The dad is probably saying that because he doesn’t know which way is up or down or whatever.
