It doesn't have to be confusing. I remember an old punch line: Go left and you'll be right; abqtommy Jul 2021 #2

go right and you'll be left. I found this reference to back me up...

from link:

Today’s headline is from an old joke, one that struck me as funny at an age when I wasn’t quite old enough for more sophisticated wordplay:

Woman: Where is the platform for the 8 o’clock train?
Attendant: If you go left, you’ll be right.
Woman: Don’t be impertinent!
Attendant: All right. If you go right, you’ll be left.

It's much better to be amused than to be confused.
