For every brain cell used for technology, that's one brain cell that can't be used for common sense. Is there anyone out there who uses a roadmap or even knows how to use a map or chart? Do a questionaire with your co-workers and find out how many know right away which direction is North. You might want to exclude truckers and those who work outside.

You might be surprised to know how many people there are who don't have a clue where they are in relationship to the earth.

"Drugs and alcohol were apparently not a factor but being blond was.

Reminds me of the wife that told the husband that she wasn't sure why the bright red oil light was on. She continues to drive until the motor seizes.

I tried telling my wife she didn't need that GPS.....

2 springs ago south of Spokane in the Palouse area, my wife was heading to her aunts. She had the bright idea to take a shortcut, which would be labled "summer road only". Basically dirt roads for the farmers shortcuts, NOT for cars in the spring time. Quite the story- lucky she had cell service and found some nice farmers with some big tractors.
Common sense goes along ways..

Geez, Your vehicle is supposed to know where you are. Don't you know that?

Serious, after 30 odd years of bliss, my wife can actually give directions and that kinds of screws people up some times. She sounds like a farmer, "Go south just past ......., turn west at .....

To me, the other side of Dallas is about 150 miles...to my wife it is Louisiana.

...don't ask how I know.

My wife, bless her adorable heart, grew up just a few blocks from downtown 16th Street Denver, and by her own admission could only tell directions because she knew the mountains were situated to the West. This is in a city where nearly all the streets at that time were oriented N/S, E/W and numerically or alphabetically sequential. She did know which bus lines to take though and where to make her transfers. I finally taught her to drive when she was 27, and she does know that odd numbered roads are oriented N/S and even numbered roads are oriented E/W. You might be surprised how few adults know that.

I'm a truck driver and taught my wife a few tears ago that way she could possibly see where I'm at inthe map. Funny thing is. We have a dispatcher that probably couldn't give you routes to their office. Just turn at stop sign and look for trailers on the yard. When u discuss something on theap with him. Well it's only a inch or two that shouldn't take you that long to get there. That one kills me. Lol. I'm like I'll be there when I get there.
