In what ways don't you have the sense God gave goose?

In My Humble Opinion

I don’t give a damn about my health. I figure stressing out about it will kill me quicker than ignoring it. And I rarely get sick.

I’m very intelligent, but I have NO sense of direction. And I mean none. I get lost in my own home town, where I’ve lived for thirty years. It’s totally genetic–nobody in my family has any sense of direction. I blame the Howard family, being a direct descendant of Annie Lucy Howard, one of the founding families of New England, and the same Howards that gave us the Ohio Taft politicos. I figure they were looking for a nice picnic spot they heard about just outside Boston and gave us when they hit what is now Ohio.[/QUOTE

I’ve also gotten lost in my own hometown and I’m also intelligent, so I hear you.

Well, it WAS a pretty awesome catch and Buford ain’t exactly known for his fieldin’ ability. He can flat hit tha ball, though!

I’m another one with no innate sense of direction. I can read a map; I can follow a compass bearing (I am an Eagle Scout and took both Army Basic and Advanced Leadership training), but without physical aids, I have no idea which way to go.

I’ll be driving and come to an intersection. Hmmmm, do I turn right or left? Hmmmm. The thing is, no matter which way I opt for it is always wrong. I know this about myself, so I’ll do the “my gut reaction says to turn left, so I’ll turn right.” Of course, turning right is the wrong choice.

I’m the king of the U-turn.

Oh, and I’ll never figure out how some people casually drop “walk east for 6 blocks…” East? *EAST??? *I better hope the sun is out and it’s either way early or way late, b/c how the fuck do I know which way is east? Yeah, on a signed interstate or highway, it’s easy enough; but intuitively?

I work in a building with two elevator banks. Often, the word is to “meet at the West elevators” or whatever. Are you kidding me? Can I see the sun from my office?
