WHERE AM I?

"Clearly this guy needs help! Well, I could TELL you where you are, Lou, but sometimes verbal or written descriptions of location can be very complicated!"

"You mean, complicated like: If you love me dearly, meet me under the 14th forked apple tree that is just beyond the rotting stump just over the valley from the orchard that lies a two minute walk uphill from the gate in the fence halfway between the entrance to Mr. Patterson's farm and the yellow sign that points the way to the highway that runs from Smithville to Grimsby!!"

"You got it! Or if they're not complicated, often they're vague!"

"Like: If you love me dearly, meet me in Central Park - and be on time!!"

"Yeah! Not very helpful in either case! But such complications can be avoided - and the course of true romance rescued! Instead of telling you, I could SHOW you by giving you... A MAP!
