of a signboard stating that "you are here."


You might be curious to know that the "you are here" symbols are called
ideolocators!!

That IS interesting. It never occurred to me that anyone might have
bothered to come up with a name for such things.

Unfortunately, it does nothing at all to help solve the fundamental problem
of locating the damned thing, without which it does no one any good at all.
Nor does it materially affect the fact that most of the time you are
actually somewhere else, thus making the stated assertion not merely
incorrect but also (given that the signmakers KNOW that you will not be
spending your life in that one particular spot) an outright lie. Moreover,
it is also demonstrably true (via photographic evidence, etc.) that most of
the time (virtually ALL of the time) it is actually "someone else!" who is
"here".....yet another layer of deception and misdirection!

yeah, i know, the chicken ain't all that reliable either......but using a
map as tinder to start a fire upon which to roast a chicken makes a lot more
sense to me than vice versa.
