There ' s an old New England story that goes something like this: A New York City slicker driv- ing a white Cadillac pulls up in front of this little, backwoods farmhouse where this white-haired, pipe-smoking, overall-outfitted farmer is sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch, and the slicker asks, Could you tell me how to get to Shaleton? Aayup, the farmer says, and he proceeds to rattle off the most detailed and convoluted direc- tions you could ever imagine. After carefully writing down every word, the slicker goes barreling off down the road and three and a half hours later he pulls up in front of this same little, backwoods farmhouse with this same white-haired, pipe-smoking, overall-outfitted farmer sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch. What am I doing back here? the slicker asks. I went exactly where you told me. I thought you were giving me directions to Shaleton. Did, the farmer says. Is this Shaleton then? the slicker asks. Aayup, the farmer says. Well if you knew this was the place, why didn ' t you tell me before? the slicker asks. B ' cos, the farmer says, you didn ' t ask. Don ' t ask. We ' ll just tell you. This is the place. PLACE PLACE :»
