“When you come to a fork in the road, take it....”
These were actual directions to Yogi’s house. They were also correct. Either road in this fork led to his house. He must have lived on loop or circle.
Yes, a lot of his ‘tongue twisters’ were in fact true — he just had an earthy way of relating it.
I like the one 15 or 20 miles depending on what time it is.
Or one I heard years ago and some young lady used it during a gas surge few years ago.
The ‘question reader’ asked how it effected her.
She said I used to fill up on Tues, now it is Tues and Sat-
The reporter rolled his eyes and said the price of gas has nothing to do with what you are saying.
She proceeded to tell him that when she first started working her father told her she never needed to put more than 10 dollars worth in her car as she lived close to work and did little running around.
To her the 10 dollars constituted a ‘fill up’ and as the price of gas went up......etc etc etc...
The ‘brain’ still didn’t get it and she did a pretty good job of rolling her eyes.
