Dead Ned  was what they used for a Dead End sign, as in turn right after 
seeing Dead  Ned. A complex math problem was easily solved if you read all the way 
to the  end of the problem and saw that you multiplied by 2, was your last  
computation. If the answer was an even number, turn right or turn left if your  
answer was odd.

But the one I still remember today is, "Twinkle twinkle  little car, keep 
your wheels upon the tar, when you see the general store,  turn that way on CR 
4." The general store we passed was on the left, so your  next turn was left 
onto county road 4.




On a rally I wrote, I defined what constituted a "valid" checkpoint, the  
Correct sign, etc., cautioning everyone to enter only a valid  Checkpoint. Then, 
at a point along the route, each car pulled up  in front of the correct sign, 
now sitting in a wheelchair. That,  of course, made the Checkpoint an 
"Invalid". And they shouldn't have entered an  "Invalid Checkpoint".  Heh Heh. -  Seth
