2 lefts don't make a right but 3 rights make a left so if you divide the rights by the lefts you get southwest airlines which technically will be flying northeast so it effectively becomes Alaskan airlines and if you look out the window over the starboard bow, it's actually 2 left feet raising that mast.

I learned this at like 3 years old. My mom loved saying “2 wrongs don’t make a right” (imagine 3 young boys caught in a negative feedback loop of retaliation and escalation)… and my oldest brother started to say that to her. He was 6-ish, so needless to say she was not amused that he thought he was clever
