Around 1980, before personal GPS'r's a friend & I got "lost" while driving.. I was almost positive that Rt 422 would get us home.. But he really wanted to stop for directions Smile

The convenience store clerk was of Oriental descent (and with no ill intentions implied) this is what happened Smile

We entered the store and my buddy asked "does this road go to Phila? We're a bit lost...

The clerk replied (Heavy Chinese accent ) Ohhhh You ROST???? (shaking his head) That NOT Good!!!!

He was so sincere, it was really a nice gesture on his part, showing sympathy to two strangers ....

Then he said - Yes - This road; 422 take you right into city. Smile Smile (Pointing Eastward down the road.)

We thanked him and he bowed a bit and we paid for the munchies and other junk food we had brought to the counter and went on our merry way Smile So I guessed it right - the road was the correct way Smile Smile

From then on - Every time we thought we were a bit out of our way - we said the Oh - You Rost?? comment - and if anyone around us, didn't know where it came from, we would tell the story of the Chinese gentleman who was so nice to us, who we fondly remember to this day Smile Smile
