Who would have thought that the joke that my wife always loves to use on me when I’d inevitably get lost while driving would have made it as a comic?
Yes, she’d always tell me that the reason why Moses was in the 40 years in the desert with the Israelites was because he, being a man, would not stop to ask for directions.
I don’t think I’m alone in this, am I? Not asking for directions is a manly trait that runs across all cultures, I say!
And I’m not about to become one of those sissy men culled into stopping the car and asking for directions just because my wife says so. Who cares if we are lost and petrol isn’t cheap anymore? We’ll get you there in time even though it does look like we’re horribly lost now.
Have a good laugh for the weekend, and Shabbat Shalom!
Footnote to the husbands out there: Heeding my tongue-in-cheek advice can land you in rather hot soup. Self-preservation behavior, including stopping the car to ask for directions, is highly recommended.

Well, we have seen it… maybe now I wouldn’t stay angry at my hubby for not asking for directions… lol.

Well, while driving a truck for a living: I stopped and asked for directions a lot; and I still wound-up going in circles for years!!!

That’s hilarious!!! My hubby is a truck driver and he calls the plant when he gets lost. But, he is always given bogus directions and so this really is necessary.
But when we’re together, he almost NEVER gets lots because he knows his way everywhere! Amazing. But he has asked people for directions and he knows this doesn’t affect his manhood! hahaha

Well, at least you don’t have to be like Moses’ wife in the comic, Carol.
Having someone in the family who drives to almost every nook and corner frequently does have its advantages!
