While traveling through Ireland I was mostly hitchiking [busses cost money] I found, on occasion, it was diffcult to get a ride [I'm talking 2 hours with a thumb out]. I figured I need to get someone to stop somehow and if they did I could get a lift from them. I couldn't get anyone to stop so I came up with a sceme that I thought would work. I had a sign with my destination emblazened in large letters. People would just pass by. So on the back of the sign I wrote a destination in the WRONG direction and held that up. Not too shortly after a car pulled up to tell me what a fool I was for being on the wrong road. I asked him where this road went and when he told me I shrugged and said I was going to be headed in that dection sooner or later showed him the other side of the sign and asked for a ride. Got my ride in less than 10 minutes, every time... ---- Mike (I thought YOU took care of the guard!) Sandler Un, Znqr Lbh Ybbx -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
