    There’s an old Talaxian expression: “When the road before you splits in two, take the third path.”

      That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”

      There’s an old saying in Tennessee (I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee) that says, take the first path, shame on… shame on you. The third path- you can’t get fooled again.
