    Imagine not knowing your bearings at all times…

    Also imagine not looking like a sailor…

      Right?!? When I give directions I do both. Eg. turn left(north) on the 887. Far too many people have gotten lost trying to find my place. It’s 3 turns at well labelled intersections.

      I don’t look like a sailor, but I am one. Most people assumed I was a stoner before I even knew what weed was.

      I have a friend that found out that when I’m drunk my compass gets wonky. I always know what direction we are going, but it feels like a different direction, so he’ll randomly ask “hey ACK, what direction are we going?” on some random road. I’ll answer back “feels like south, but I know we are going northwest,” or whatever. I’m correct 9/10 times when drunk, and 100% accurate when sober.
