But instead of getting to Germany, they ended up back in Belarus.At least they didn't stop and ask for directions.
These two guys dug a tunnel under the border fence between Belarus and Poland (using shoehorns, no less, because they thought buying a shovel might tip off the cops). Once inside Poland, they got turned around and wound up at what they took to be another barbed wire fence. Thinking they were at the border between Poland and Germany they dug under this fence too - only to wind up back in Belarus, where they began.
My Grandfather (also a guy) used to say, if you just keep going in the right general direction you will eventually wind up where you want to be. And he was right. It may not be the most efficient way to get somewhere but in time it tends to work. “The right general direction,” though, is a key part of this technique and if you get that part wrong, well, you will wind up back in Belarus every time.

wait, they thought they'd tunnerled all the way across poland and were now at germany? i'm not buying this one; there is geopraphically challenged, and then there is challenged geographically...
They didn't tunnel all the way, they just tunneled under the fence. Then the wandered around a lot and got turned around and wound up back where they started, but not exactly where they started or they could have used the same hole. So then they tunneled under that fence and then they were where they started, if you count Belarus as where.
