Title: Man Asks For Directions
Post by: dystopia on November 20, 2009, 09:23:23 AM
lol, he was lost for 9 hours before asking for directions.  I have to admit, I'm one of those asshats that never pulls over and asks for directions, although with GPS/cellphones it's not a big deal anymore.

CANBERRA (Reuters) – An elderly man who went out to fetch a morning newspaper ended up driving nearly 400 miles after getting lost and taking a wrong turn onto a major Australian highway, police said on Wednesday. The man, 81-year-old Eric Steward, eventually stopped and asked for directions after driving for nine hours, from the New South Wales country town of Yass to Geelong in the southern Victoria state.

When he left, or when he bought the paper?  It could matter.

The only reason he had to stop in Geelong was because he'd reached the ocean.... :o
