Why not just blindfold the commander and have someone
stand behind giving wonderfully lucid directions. Such
as Hard Right, no Left, Forward reverse oh no we're

             Cost of blindfold:  $2.00
             Cost of helper: Six pack
             Cost of hilarious memories at
              your expense:  PRICELESS  ;-)
