359 : Map as comedy

Neal is known among his friends for his mapmaking abilities, and they regularly call on him to draw maps to local points of interest. This map suggests he also has a gift for knowing when cartography could be turned into a punchline. Drawn on notebook paper, it offers formally composed directions from 9 South Maple Avenue to 11 South Maple Avenue, a journey of exactly one house. The map includes a labeled cross street, careful renderings of both properties, and a small arc of an arrow that loops from the destination back to the starting point, as if to acknowledge the whole exercise is absurd.
