"OK, now stay right while you're turning left, because you're going to hang a right after seriously the biggest tree you've ever seen, go five lampposts down, turn left on McCallaugh...or was it McDowell? McSomething. Then you'll keep going and hang a right after the Adopt-a-Highway sign for Drew Curtis' FARK <br>
UFIA."<br><br>Because I am a Luddite with a $15 drug store burner phone with minimal text capability, I frequently transmit the sort of Val-Gal girl directions above. Also known as "Kolmogorov Directions" ( see <a href="http://xkcd.com/1155/">http://xkcd.com/1155/</a> ), with two other additional merged Kolmogorov sets (reassurance markers ("If you see the Burger King you are still on track" and exclusionary markers ( If you see Doofer's you have gone too far"). Formulation uses a further variation of 'minimum turns' and slackening of the end point criteria (to where you can actually park, rather than the building). :-)<br>
