“I was driving to the airport and saw a sign that said ‘Airport Left,’ so I went back home”

“I was driving to the airport to catch my flight when I saw a sign that said: ‘Airport Left.’ So I turned around and went home” is an old joke, told about a blonde, an Irishman and “yo mama.”
   
“Our chief scout gets lost in a revolving door. He saw a sign, ‘Airport Left’ and went home” was printed in The Sun (Baltimore, MD) on December 4, 1977.
