Look at this old timeless classic. It kind of resembles the modern day UPS truck except the UPS trucks are enclosed. Back then when this vechicle was in use there were less streets, roads and highways but you could still easily get lost.
Driving directions were straight from a map or a yap, (someones mouth).
Drivers were always stopping and asking for directions.
Your first choice in asking for directions was the person walking/standing/loitering on the street, that is, if that person had looked knowledgeable and or trustworthy.
The second choice for driving directions was the filling station. The filling station employee was always getting asked for driving directions, so you hoped they knew what they were talking about.
The third choice was if you were in a rural area, and it would not be a choice it was a last resort. You would sheepishly, as you were walking past sheep, tuck your tail between your legs as you walked past various animals with tails, and go knock on a farm house door and admit you were lost and needed directions.
The good and bad part of doing this was you remembered all of those farmers daughters jokes, of which we're going to tell none.
That was a great analogy and story, we realy like your website.

We're responding to the commentor who said "that was a great analogy". What a chowder head you are, but not in a malevolent sense. We disagree, it wasnt a great story it was a grand story, and we're also a tad biased.
