How far will a man drive without asking for directions?
How far will a man drive without asking for directions? In this particular case, the answer was nine hours. Nine hours!An 81-year-old Australian man named Eric Steward took a wrong turn in New South Wales country town Yass, reportedly on his way to buy a newspaper, and ended up on a major highway. He drove almost 400 miles before pulling off and asking the advice of a policeman at a petrol station.
"This little old man came up to me saying he was lost. He handed me his mobile and asked if I could speak to his wife," Victorian Police Senior Constable Clayton Smith told Reuters.
Steward claims that after taking the wrong turn, he just went with it: "I just went out on the road to have a drive, a nice peaceful drive."
Nine hours.

Probably to get away from his wife's nagging.

Pfft. It's not the lack of directions that matters to me but the odd ones that I get! My darling Soul-Soother (whom I love dearly) tends to be at fault: http://unexpectedtraveller.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/one-way-or-another/
