One of the most amusing parts of correspondent David Greene's report today on Morning Edition about why people get lost is when his editor, Laura Krantz, easily corrects David and author Colin Ellard when they ... get lost.

Laura's victory over the guys comes in around the 2:20 mark:

Ellard, who just wrote the book You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon, but Get Lost in the Mall, thinks men and women do navigate differently. Men depend more on compass directions (meet me at the northeast corner of Main and Broad), while women depend more on landmarks (let's meet at the statue in front of the art museum), he says.

Which leads to a question for the group:

Of course, many men may have another problem altogether — refusing to ask for directions.
