Maine Folks: Have You Ever Given a Tourist the Wrong Directions?
Ok, so maybe I have. But they had it coming... I won't lie, when I was a kid, I'd say whatever. Every now and then people would ask for directions, and I'd send them wherever. Half the time, because I was a kid, I'd have no idea what they were talking about, but I was an impish turd most of the time and liked to cause a bit of mischief. Ok, sometimes as an adult too.
