Christopher Columbus did not need directions
I had to laugh at that one......
One of my fondest memories of my dad (who passed away in 1998) was of when I was about 12 years old.
My dad, mom, sister and I were visiting my brother in Minnesota (White Bear Lake area). We left his home, and stopped at a major intersection leading to the interstate to fuel up. Once complete, my dad, instead of turning left out of the drive to the interstate, turned right...........I immediately said, "MOM", and she turned around to me with her finger up to her mouth... so my sister and I went very quiet....
Needless to say, we saw very nice scenery on our way to Wisconsin!!!! (We lived in Iowa) Throughout the whole drive, none of us females said a word.........
I can still see my dad's face when he saw the "Welcome to Wisconsin" sign..........
