Should come in handy for pinpointing a particular stall in a market, say, or a tent on a campsite or a grave in a churchyard.

Endless possibilities, too, for imaginative people with too much time on their hands. Come the next election, will the losing.party.leader be sent to the wilds of Alaska? Should the brainless.financial.misfits responsible for our banks be dumped collectively in the Sahara Desert, or individually in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida? Actually, most of the earth's surface is ocean and most of the rest wilderness, so random choices are likely to yield one or the other.

N.B. Be careful to get the references right: yarn.jazzy.exact takes you to a location familiar to some of us, but yarn.jazzy.exactly dumps you in a Saudi Arabian city.
