While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning.
She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" when my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said,
"Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff."
