Route 1
This anecdote comes from Dr. Bob:An entire high school Social Studies class in my home state of New Jersey was asked a simple and presumably obvious geography question during the Middle East Oil Crisis, complete with gas lines at service stations. It was in the news continuously. The question was: "What route do oil tankers use to get from the Persian Gulf to New York Harbor?"
The most frequent response, by far: "Route 1."
Frightening, isn't it?
