"Can't get there from here" actually comes from an old vaudeville joke.
NYC is known for lots of one way streets and bizarre traffic regulations. So when the out of town gentleman rolls down the window of his car and asks a pedestrian for directions to City Hall, the local has to stop and think for a moment.
"Let's see. Go up two streets take a left then... No that's a one way in the wrong direction.
Try this. Go right here, down two streets then go... No you can't turn left there.
Alright. You'll have to go up three streets turn right and then... Wait. That only works after 6.
Sorry buddy. You can't get there from here."
