Yesterday I was driving in NJ, before I was in Queens in awe of echoes. Well, we were lost as is usually the case when I am in the Garden State.

On the street, I was about to make an illegal U-Turn (crossing a double striped line) and from the street to my left a police car was turning in my direction. If I had gone ahead with the full turn, I would have been in trouble. But instead, I used my inched-in positioning on top of the double-do-not-cross line to gain favor of the police officers.

Acting gullibly, I asked “Do you know how to get to 9 West?” Well, then he spoke with his passenger-side officer about the dilemma and they discussed while 10 cars waited behind them – holding traffic. Eventually they gave us the directions and made no mention of the illegal turn that could have been.

Now I’m not going to ask you to lie, because that is wrong. Lying and deception are two things that I cannot stand. But when you’re lost, you should totally ask the police for directions. That is all I’m going to say.
