Forrest Gump:
That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town.

When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.
