Three lefts make a right? Riddle

[Fred]

Once upon a time a man left home on a journey. He made three left turns on his journey before returning home. As he approached home he saw two masked men waiting on him. Who were these masked men?

Anybody?

Elvis, ET and bigfoot all munching on green biscuits waiting to take off in the UFO parked at the man's backyard....

Batman and Zorro?

this sounds like a baseball player hitting a home run.

The 2 man in the mask is a catcher. and the umpire???

i wish it was as easy as this to solve issues in linux....

but a refreshing mental event.....

ibm450,

You are, of course, correct sir. And fast too.

As a side note, I posted this in a Windows forum about a year ago and after a full page of responses, no one got it. Wonder if that means anything?

1.) People in Linux forums are smarter?

2.) People in Linux forums are used to problems that tie their brains in knots?
