Why men dont ask for directions

Everytime I go for a drive with my better half or whenever there is a general discussion of the driving habits of men, one topic which always comes up is --Why cant men ask for directions?

And its not just related to men in a particular region, its a global phenomenon. All across the world men try not to ask for directions until they are well and truly lost and in most such cases there isn't anyone who they can go to and ask for directions. Why does this happen? Is out DNA hardcoded with this kind of behavior? If so, how did it begin?

I have a theory regarding this.

See, a very very long time back someone discovered that there are Ten Commandments and they were passed on from one to another until now. I did some research myself (for about 2.5 minutes)

and came up with an alternate theory. What if there wernt Ten Commandments ? What if there were eleven? We all know that the "zero" was invented in India, so whenever someone counted the number of commandments they just went as far as they fit on the fingers, which is Ten.

The Indians would have been able to count the extra one - 0 to 10 so I believe thats where

one of the commandments got lost. And which one would that be, you might ask.

Well Sherlock, it has to be " Thou Shalt Not ask for directions"

And why would anyone make that kind of commandment? Good question.

Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago the Lord created Adam and Eve. Now, when Adam and Eve met they were both inquisitive and curious to know much more about each other. They start chatting and she asks him slyly if he has ever seen the awesome apple tree she heard God talking about. Now our Adam has also heard about the apple tree from the grapevine (the small thin tree Adam used to chat with before Eve came around) so he was very curious and asked Eve if she had seen it and knew where it was.

Eve casually said," Why, yes of course, I know where the tree is"

It was at this moment that Adam made the biggest mistake of his life.

He was so excited to hear about the much discussed tree he asked her for directions.

And we all know where it went after that.

Men have learnt from the mistakes committed by their ancestors.
