It's not a Saab story.
My old girlfriend in 1986 -- not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree for a lot of reasons (being with me for one!) -- wanted to drive from where we were living in Huntington Beach, CA with one of her girlfriends to Phoenix, AZ to get ferrets for pets. I told them that they really shouldn't have ferrets for pets -- I think it was illegal in California but that's why they were going to AZ, etc. -- but if she wanted a pet, get a dog, etc.
She asked me how to get there because reading a map was way beyond her capability so I said -- sorry, but maybe only LA people will get this -- 'Take the 405 to the 22 to the 57 or 55 to the 91 to the 60 to the 10 and it's then a straight shot to Phoenix.' She had this blank look on her face and said, 'No, what are the freeway names?' I responded, 'OK, take the San Diego to the Garden Grove to the Orange or the 55 to the Riverside to the 60 to the 10.' She seemed to get that but wanted to know why she couldn't just take the 10 since it was a straight shot to Phoenix. You can almost guess what happened after that. She and her girlfriend drove the San Diego all the way up to West LA through heavy traffic to catch the 10 because 'it was a straight shot to Phoenix.'
It (almost) gets better: after picking up the ferrets in Phoenix, they're driving back to California and just cross into the state at Blythe and they had a revelation: 'The ferrets probably have to go to the bathroom.' What happened next is why she and her girlfriend weren't the brightest bulbs, etc. They took one of the exits after Blythe in the middle of nowhere and pulled over so the ferrets could go pee. They put the cages on the ground, opened the doors, and the two ferrets shot straight into the desert like bats out of hell. These women couldn't understand why the ferrets didn't just do their business and go back into the cages. True. Story.
I won't even go to introducing ferrets into the desert or the possibility of their survival. For all I know there's a thriving ferret colony just west of Blythe. I hope not.
Anyway, these girls were blisteringly cute and I suspect that's how they'll get through life. On a positive note, my old girlfriend did turn me on to In-'N-Out Burger so she wasn't all dumb. I wonder if she and he girlfirend are out there today stuck in traffic on the 405...
