A glimpse into my thought process (Warning - contents could be traumatic!)

How many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man?



How can you answer a question like that without access to a few facts? More information is needed. Does the road need to be a set distance in order for it to be taken into account? For example, if a person (unsure whether he can be called a man yet) walked say 30 paces downs a road, then realised he's forgotten his wallet and turns back does that count? If so, can it count as two roads? What about footpaths? Do they count? Does he have to walk in the road, or does it still count even if he's on the pavement? And if not, is he insured to perform this feat? And if he is not yet a man, what is he called? Boy? What if he's 68 and just happened to have been born with no legs? Is he still a boy or can we count the rolling of his wheelchair? And if we're counting wheelchairs, then can we count bicycles? Ok, how about this......

How many roads, avenues, streets, drives, lanes, crescents, cul-de-sacs, motorways, cycleways, bus lanes, and other adopted or unadopted public and private highways must one travel down before other unspecified persons classifies you as a man?

Hello, by the way.

What do you mean I over-analyse things?

Just a thought.........
