Thank You YMMB Tower

In an unmitigated display of shear stupidity yesterday, I managed to get "lost" on the taxiways of YMMB thinking there was a link at the end of 35R that would take me to 31L and 31R (the active runways). I therefore refused the offer of assistance from the Tower when they courteously asked me if I required directions after they saw me heading in the wrong direction.

They politely gave me taxi directions anyway when it became obvious I was stumped. I compounded my embarrassment on return an hour or so later with a right of way fracas with a C172 after crossing 17R (at least without causing an incursion for once).

Thank you to the long suffering Tower staff who have to put up with muppets like me and yet never seem to lose their temper. Where do they breed these superhuman beings, or do they just feed them Valium?
