[I’ve written several opening to this. They all sound snarky and defensive … exactly what you would expect from a non-New Yorker. SB SM]

Nathan Cohen6d

America and America 5d

Troy, PA to Ithaca, NY takes even less time!

Dave2h

From the movie “Breaking Away”:

Cyril: My dad said Jesus never went more than 30 miles from where he was born.

Mike: Yeah, and look at what happened to him.

Christine 5d

Lol. New Yorkers don’t know there’s a Troy and Ithaca is just that place where your friend who went to Cornell talks about.

Nelson Giles6d

Moses took 40 yrs to go about the same distance. How dumb is that?

Bry Willis6d

You beat me to the same comment. haha

Will Jerome6d

No one really talks about what Aeneas did in Oswego🤫

Elliot Waxman2d

No cars back then so makes sense

The Ram 3d

We all know how people get lost in New Paltz and Woodstock. Some have been there since the 60s and never left. I escaped in 1991, but got re routed to NYC.

Nenad Georgievski6d

Poseidon really went out of his way to mess with his EZ-Pass.

Jason O’Toole6d

The drive from Boston to Albany to see my parents takes about a decade on a Friday afternoon.

Steven Fried6d

They got to the Thruway and somebody had to go back and get a shitload of dimes. (Especially if the giant horse had more than 2 axles.) Just like in Blazing Saddles.

Rakhul6d

Steinberg’s 1976 cover was a self-own. Most remakes treat the same proportions as a flex. That flip from satire to brand is the real tell

Eliza Petrovits 4d

Well. They didn’t have coffee Must stop every mile for coffee. Right?

Of course it took 10 yrs for poor depressed Ody. 🤣

Star-Crowned Ariadne 4d

He spent 7 years crying on Calypso’s Island. So, only 3 years worth accounting for.

John WB 2d

The town of Homer is just south of that route.

Ski Chap5d

One time I was looking up directions on how to drive from Vienna, Virginia to Alexandria, Virginia but then Google maps showed me a route from Europe to North Africa.

Matthew Hobson 2d

Never count out the allure of the finger lakes.

Avery D. West 1d

😂

M A Bové6d

I can assure you, Troy looks like it already got sacked

Just Some Guy 3d

Traffic was bad.

Poems & Prayers5d

He took up with a mistress who was a goddess. It took him years to break up and go back to his wife.

Star-Crowned Ariadne 4d

Hey, don’t slander him. He was crying the whole time.

Justin4d

there was a bad accident between Schenectady and Charybdis

Philoinvestor 4d

He got LOST ALONG THE WAY! OK?

Brian Czach6d

Made that trek many times going back and forth when I was attending school at Ithaca College. Good memories!

Dave’s Non-Journal 6d

Me too, from Cornell to Lake George.

Kyle Cook20h

You’re not wrong 😅😅😂😂

Nikola Vuković, CFA5d

I lived in Ithaca, and I will disappoint you – no one there was even remotely like Odysseus! 👀

65 Shades of Gray5d

your point being?

Stephen Coler4d

You could even avoid the cyclops of Syracuse!

Sam Kahn 6d

There are many monsters and many wicked women between the two points

Frank Housh5d

I know both cities well. Troy is home to Lo Porto, one of the finest restaurants in New York.

Phillip Noonan 6d

Probably due to attempting a road trip in a boat.

Roscetti 6d

Haha! Nice…

elizabeth Sheer6d

Yeah I saw this, but I didn’t get it. Now I do.

Ryan Twombly3d

It’s nice Aeneas didn’t have far to go.

Jim Ruland 4d

Lesser men have lost entire lifetimes in Schenectady.

Adam 6d

Asa former New Yorker… This is accurate

Zoaib5d

hahahahaha nice

Eric Kaplan 5d

solid!

Thomas Brennan 6d

History does not remember a left hand turn at Binghamton for a side trip to Rome.

Raymond Evans6d

👏👏👏😂👍

CI Carlson 6d

Poseidon is a mob boss in Jersey.

Jane Baker 6d

Well judging by super hot today in normally damp England with buses overheating and trains backed up outside stations it feels totally logical,!

book talk with lauren 6d

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bry Willis6d

Now try the Biblical trek of Moses through the desert. 🧐🤣
