Which way to go?

Wikipedia picture of the Cheshire Cat

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll)
