A tourist from Back East is driving around in southwest Washington State, gets off Interstate 5, and manages to get himself totally lost. He sees a little one-pump gas station and general store and he decides he'd better ask directions. He goes into the store and an old fellow is sitting on a stool behind the counter. The conversation proceeds thus:--

"What city or town will I come to if I stay on this road?" the man asks.
"Skamokawa," the store proprietor answers.
"What was the last town, back there, down the road?"
"Cathlamet."
"Hmm. By the way, what county are we in?"
"Wahkiakum."
He leaves the general store and gets back in the car.
"Where are we?" his wife asks.
"I have no idea," the man answers. "The fellow in the store doesn't speak English."
