Who asks for directions when they don't know they are lost?

Well, I am a geologist and my wife is a geographer, so we did have an advantage over the croatian lady.
Belgian lady... she started in Belgium, aiming for Belgium... ended up in Croatia before realizing her error.

Not quite 900 miles, but the zero-visibility fog in California's Central Valley can wreak havoc on trying to stay on the proper course. A properly functioning GPS probably helps, but when you can't see past your windshield, bad things happen; all too often with worse results than merely ending up a few countries removed from where your desired plans called for. And when swapping cars that do have a GPS in 'em, check to to see where "home" is before embarking on your quest to get there. :-)

I was distracted, so I kept driving. I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted.
Wait, she was "distracted" and thus she drove 900 miles without realizing it?
I really think inattentive driving should be grounds for an automatic and permanent revoking a license.

And, she tanked up at least twice for a 90 mile trip. Where's the thread on why you need algrbra?

Forgive me, but I am going to say something chauvinistic but true. I do not know a single woman who can tell me which way is North, South, East, or West, or could find out without a compass (or GPS)...

Sounds like all the smart women know better than to let you get to know them.
