I've been doing it wrong.

I wonder who they stole it from.

@norman-oklahoma It looks like it might be a pawn shop. They probably bought it from a junkie for $10.

I didn't think it was even possible to assemble it that way which makes what they did both amusing and impressive.

Reminds me of when a friend told me someone tried to sell him a nice set of golf clubs for a really cheap price. When the seller pulled them out of his trunk to show the buyer, the grips were all sticking out of the top of the bag. 

Seems to be a frequent occurrence in that location, just saying....... 

Got to be Aussies. Whole setup is upside down and turned around. 

@jimcox I was just kidding mate. I'd noticed the prices were listed in Aus $. I'm often the only person in the room that finds my humor, humorous.

@williwaw Aha - you need to remember that I'm a sracastic b*stard from Down Under (and that might just include local use of emojis)

@jimcox 

williwaw doesn't know how to spell humour correctly.  Right, mate?

@holy-cow Same difference as color vs colour, all depending on which side of the pond you're standing on.

color vs colour

My Canadian wife long critically commented about how Americans dropped the "u" out of english words of this sort just to be difficult, until she was shown that the British actually added the "u" some time well after the American Revolution.

@williwaw We get our face-left and face-right wrong as well. Coriolis Effect.

Knowing where north/south/east/west are at any moment is a great help with land surveying.  I feel so sorry for those who live where the sun doesn't rise in the east and sets in the west.  That must be very disorienting.

HC, we in the PLSS states have it so easy with a very high percentage of the roads near cardinal directions. But I tend to lose track on cloudy days with a route having many 90 turns or winding curves.

Do surveyors in colonial states ever leave home, even off work, without a compass?

@bill93   Absolutely true.  Many years ago I was in a meeting where we were meeting with representative of a Georgia company.  On the wall directly opposite of him was a large map of several local counties.  He pointed at the map and asked "What are all of the straight lines representing on that map?"  When we told him they were roads generally one mile apart he flipped out.  He couldn't believe we had so many roads.  A high percentage of our section lines have roads running along them.  Or there will be a county road running on the quarter section line when one of the section lines has a significant topographical challenge.

@holy-cow 

The sun does that only twice a year no matter where you live. We've learned to cope with it here. The curves in our roads reflect political wrangling rather than jogs from readjusting north every now and again. 

What would disorient us though would be a coast where the sun set over the ocean.
