Default [q] "Red Right Returning" not valid in the Med ?!?


Terry Spragg wrote in message

Exerything is relative. Left, right, coming, going, here,

there.

Here, when you leave harbour, you are going to see red bouys

left
behind.

There, leaving a life on the high sea, you see red bouys left
behind.

Here, returning from the sea, red on your right is a homey

sight.

May be that should be a homey site?

There, when you talk about homeys, they look at you strange.

When you look at the map, to determine left from right, you

must
presume a direction of travel. In or out, looking inward or

outward,
to or from the sea, coming or going, to or from what to where,

etc,
etc, so to speak.

Of course, standing on your head reverses all the rules. So it

seems
that going 'there' does too?

There have been instances where pictures, maps, etc have been
inadverdently flipped when printed, reversing the appearance of

left
and right.

Pictures get flipped here too, but flipping means different

things
here and there, too.

If you are looking at a map through a mirror, everything is

where it
shouldn't be.

I know it's a stretch, but how do they do it in Japan, where

they
too drive on the other tack, or do Wongs ailing do it right

there too?

Alice in looking glass
can't find
pretty ass,
but an ugly donkey.

Two Wongs make a rite?

Pick one from column a, one from column b.

Ain't it a grand old world? Adventure is everywhere.
