Bed and Bath, Beyond Navigation

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, and Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.
- Frank the Tank from Old School when asked why he wasn't drinking at a party.

Today's word is tortuous (adjective): Marked by repeated turns and bends; as, "a tortuous road up the mountain."

When I saw the word of the day, I knew right away what I was going to write about.  I had to go to Bed Bath & Beyond today and maneuvering a full size shopping cart around that store is like trying to park one of those huge trucks with eight wheels in a compact parking spot.  Doesn't really fit!

Steering around Bed, Bath  Beyond
In a cart with one wheel that will not respond.
Taking a path shaped much like a coil
In aisles too narrow for even Olive Oyl.
