The Yard
It was a dark and stormy night, of course. Isn't it always?
Anyway, it was a dark and stormy night and our pal Krusty had been assigned a little mission.
His wife was out at a meeting. And he was supposed to pick her up. But he doesn't remember how to get to the location. So he drives to the area where he thinks she might be, but he can't find the meeting place.
But he does find a church. And he remembers that if he goes north from the church, he will find the location of the meeting. So he looks up to try to figure out which way is north, but of course, it's dark and stormy so he can't see the stars. He looks around and there are no street signs. It is very late. And this is way before cell phones and things like that. There's no one around, no other drivers on the road, no one to ask for directions.
So he drives around, drives by all these houses and they're few and far between because he's way out in the sticks. He doesn't wanna knock on anyone's door because he will wake people up, there's no lights on in any of the houses. He finally sees, nestled behind a stand of pine trees, a little house and a light on in the house. Somebody's home. So he walks through the door and he's about to ring the bell when he looks in the window and sees a fellow in the living room in his underwear asleep on the couch. He doesn't wanna wake the guy. He clearly fell asleep while watching TV.
Then, all of a sudden he has a revelation. He walks away from the front door without waking the guy. He looks in the guy's yard. And then he gets right back into his car and drives directly North, and picks up his wife.
How did he do it? How did he find North by looking in the guy's yard?
