as long as you remember that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West..

That can be difficult in triple canopy during the monsoon season.

“..as long as you remember that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West..”

I recall some radio show - might have been a local broadcast. But they would have these stupid questions like the old Jay Leno “man on the street” thing.

I recall one where they would call folks probably with a prize reward or something) and ask them in which direction does the sun rise. Of course they threw away all the folks that answered “in the east”.

“Which direction? Well - to the right.”

“To the right?”

“Yeah. Well that’s out my front door. Out my back door it’s to the, huh, um that would be um - to the left.”

“Okay lets stick with the front door. So which direction does your front door face?”

“Well that’s straight ahead - to the FRONT!”

“No - I mean which direction on a map - like north or south or whatever?”

“Oh. Um - yeah, I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“No - not off the top of my head. And I’m on my cell phone and not home anyway so I can’t check.”

“Okay - well thanks for playing. But we needed a map direction for the sunrise, so no prize. Sorry.”

“Okay - well call me again when you have an easier question. Thanks!”

They had LOTS of those types of answers - pretty unbelievable.

I wonder if I would have thought to say something like “It doesn’t rise at my house.” Then play along with them.
