Mr. Goldstein, the geography teacher at King David Academy was giving a lesson on map reading, and trying to teach his class about latitude and longitude, degrees and minutes.
Towards the end of the lesson, he asked his students:
"Suppose I ask you to meet me for lunch at latitude 19 degrees, 7 minutes north and longitude 39 degrees, 13 minus east?"
After a confused silence, little David Epstein volunteered: "I guess you'd be eating alone, sir!"
