In the cartoon strip Ziggy, Ziggy and his dog Fuzz are lost in ski country. Ziggy pulls out a book and says to Fuzz, “We won’t get lost hiking in the woods this time because I brought the cross-country skier trail guide book . . .

“Matter of fact, Fuzz, this area here looks none too familiar . . . I better consult the guide. See, there are three methods of finding our way home. First, there’s the ‘coin flip method.’ I think we’ll skip that . . . 

“Two is the eeny-meeny-miney-mo method! Uh . . . that doesn’t sound too good . . . Ah, here we go!!

“Three: ‘The auditory method.’ Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? Let’s see what it says to do. ‘A. Get comfortable. B. Take a deep breath. C. Yell “Help” as loud as you can!’” (1)
