Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man-New Episode!

Previously on the Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man...Click here! Episode 45: Directions FIMM lives in a rural area.  Where mountain goats fear to tread!  lol  He and Bonnie were waiting for the wedding coordinator so they could finish planning some of the more pressing wedding details.  She was due to arrive at 5pm and it was now 8:30!  A bit angry because she hadn't even called to say she was going to be late, FIMM called her on her cell phone: Wedding Coordinator: Hello? FIMM: It's FIMM.  We have been waiting for you.  We had an appointment at 5pm.   WC: Oh thank you for calling!  I am hopelessly lost! What?  5pm?!  Your note said 6pm. FIMM: Oh sorry.  My 5's look like 6's.  Where are you?  Why didn't you call me? WC: I have no idea where I am!  I have been driving for hours.  There are no street signs up here!  I tried calling you but the number was out of order.  Oh wait.  Maybe the last number wasn't a six! FIMM: Oh yes. Sorry. I forgot to tell you about the street signs up here.  Did you pass the big tree yet?  WC: Well.  That depends upon what you mean by "big".   I have passed many trees that would be considered big. FIMM: Well, this one has a big yellow ribbon tied around it.  WC:  A big yellow ribbon? FIMM:  Yes I tied a big yellow ribbon around the tree so you would know which big tree you were to turn left at. WC:  I don't see anything about a yellow ribbon on your directions.  And I didn't see any yellow ribbon tied to any of the trees.  It is windy tonight! FIMM: Oh. Sorry!  I should have included that in my directions.  What do you see around you now?  WC:  A big sign that says:  "Welcome to Mexico"!  From JoJo's Purple Crayon...
