Navigational instructions might be "Carry on up that road until you see a church on your left, take the next turn to the right." This church https://goo.gl/maps/yyXYZcucuWwpyu7z9 quacks like a church. This chapel https://goo.gl/maps/tJ7XDt6tCM1xcyR89 quacks like a chapel. And this church https://goo.gl/maps/w5ce112JVP5C7cCE9 honks like your five-year-old found your stash of vodka, got hammered, and then started playing with his Lego.
