I listened to this once in a conversation about navigation. no S.
HIM:"I got lost and just just started dead reckoning east towards town, so I just followed the sun all day long."
ME:"How long were you lost before (arbitrarily) following the sun?"
HIM: "About an hour. We hiked to a lake, got there late, the next morning at sunrise we walked to the other side to fish and I fell asleep. When I woke up they were gone so waited around an hour. When they didn't show up, I started following the sun east. Walked about 6 hours and right before dark I ran into a hiker who pointed me to the road. Got there, saw a ranger and took me back to the camp we had."
ME: Why didn't you just walk back around the lake to your camp?"
HIM: (long pause. Swig of beer)"In hindsite, that would have made more sense. But I still had my fishing pole, I could have caught some fish to eat?"
ME: "And cook it with what?"
HIM: "Raw man. Eat like sushi. C'mon, thats easy"
