snowyday Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 “I say,†said a bumptious individual to a man standing at the street corner, “just tell me how I can get to Blank Street. “Well,†was the reply, “take the third turning on the left, first to the right, second to the right again, fourth to the left, first to right, fifth to left, cut across a square, pass through a crescent, take the second to the left, and you’ll get it.†The stranger jotted down the particulars and followed the instructions given. After three quarters of an hour he was startled to arrive at the place where he had asked the question, and to see the same man still standing at the corner. “Why did you direct me wrongly?†he demanded angrily. “You ask for Blank Street didn’t you?†“Yes.†“Well, then. I directed you right. This is Blank Street.†* * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
