This means roads in Charlotte are fucked with no discernable patterns or thought behind how they are laid out.

In other word the roads from Charlotte go every which way. Then, all of those every which way roads lead to Charlotte. So that means if every possible way leads to every possible place then every possible road must lead to Charlotte. Conclusion: joke’s dead.
