Three Rights Don't Make a Left


New Jersey is the only state in the union (or so it seems to me, having done no research on the subject) to have no left turns off major roads.

I was driving from Parsippany to Newark, which should take all of 30 minutes and got lost. If you know me, this isn't a surprise because usually I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag. The GPS only said "invalid PIN", of which I had no pin. So I kept driving straight. You cannot make a left turn or a U-turn to turn around and all the right turns take you to other streets.

My perseverance lead me to "Sopranoville". Out of nowhere popped these huge houses, surrounded by authentic Italian restaurants, with patrons wearing a ton of bling. To my pleasant surprise, Tiffany's headquarters was smack-dab in the middle of Sopranoville. I figured that Audrey Hepburn had Breakfast at Tiffany's, so I pulled in for a dessert of directions at Tiffany's. A little worse for wear, an hour and a half later, and sadly no diamonds to show for it.
