Episode 239: Universals

Mazolli stands on the curb waiting to cross the street. A car with out of state plates stops next to him. The driver rolls down his window. Can you direct me to the lodge? he asks. There’s no lodge here, says Mazolli. The driver hands over a sheet of paper. I got these directions off the internet, he says. Mazolli studies the paper. You’re in the wrong town, he says. Get back on the main highway and keep going another thirty miles. Oh, gee, says the driver. Thanks. I feel like an idiot. Don’t, says Mazolli. Everyone makes mistakes.
