I read this Lenore Skenazy column in Funny Times and found it hilarious:
Now that the Vatican has issued its 10 Commandments for Drivers — which, with any luck, you weren’t reading on your BlackBerry while dialing your mother while switching lanes while gesturing obscenely out the window at the granny only going 70 — it seemed like a good idea to see if there were any more commandments out there.
After all, other religions, and individuals, like commandment-issuing, too. Who doesn’t? Here’s a smattering:
11: Thou Shalt Not Give Wrong Directions:
Pleeeeease, begged the associate director of the National Jewish Outreach Program, Rabbi Yitzchak Rosenbaum: “If someone asks you for directions and you don’t know where it is, say, ‘I don’t know.'” Fast ! No hemming, no hawing, no, “I think it may be … wait, no maybe … ” The Talmud states: “Thou shalt not put a stumbling block in front of a blind man” — because, obviously, this would not serve the blind guy well. Bad directions are stumbling blocks for the rest of us.
