Not necessarily the case in NYC -- matter of fact, I can't remember the
last time a cop gave me directions in the City. They're often on loan
from other precincts, etc. Very odd, but there you have it.

And no, postmen and women are hardly better.

I've come to rely on myself and my maps -- my luck, in other words! --
so I probably didn't give "statistics" a chance for an NYPD cop to give
me directions, but, oh well, I'm glad they were honest in not knowing
instead of attempting to help and send me off wrong.
