I guess it's that human nature, always dragging us down.

I saw two guys walking into an airport. One was fairly young and the other fairly mature. They apparently did not know each other previous to this encounter but had discovered they were going the same place. As they walked, they hit a point where the younger guy was following signs and wnat to turn right. The older gentleman was going straight. The younger guy asked him "Does that go there, too?"

The older gentleman replied, "Why, yes, it does."

The younger guy asked, "Is it faster that way?"

And the other guy said. "Oh yes, much."

Now, the younger guy had a decision to make. The older guy was walking along quite leisurely, quite confident he had chosen the faster route and he'd get where they were going in plenty of time. No sweat.

The younger guy's eyes darted anxiously between the two routes. He then called out "Well, I will take my chances" and kept heading down his own path, separate from the faster path the other gentleman was taking. As soon as he turned the corner and was out of eyesight of the other gentleman (still strolling along leisurely, mind you) I chuckled as I saw the younger guy break into a mad dash.
