For a job I have, I go from Clarendon to Rosslyn on the orange line (just two stops away), than Rosslyn to King Street on the blue, then i switch to yellow to go one measly extra stop to Eisenhower. That’s two switches for something like 10 or 11 stops.

A mythical "Friends" experience on the metro
