A Travel Tip

If you use the GPS navigator on your smart phone, and take the phone with you into the restroom, always ensure that the volume is down, lest your time in said restroom be interrupted by a female voice emanating from your britches telling you to, "make a u-turn now." This travel tip is brought to you by this idiot. We now resume our highly intelligent conversation.

Dave, I count a minimum of 15 jokes. I will post none of them.

Was the phone on vibrate?

Re: A Travel Tip
Just be thankful you didn't have a Tom Tom unit. The recording would have been an insistent, "Turn around when possible!"

I feel so inadequate. My trousers never say anything pithy or quotable.
Re: A Travel Tip
My favorite is one of the first spoken warnings on American cars -- I think it was some Chrysler product -- "Your door is a jar." I always thought, No my door is a door not a jar, dagnabit.
At least speech synthesizers have gotten rhythm and intonation down a bit better since then.

Re: A Travel Tip
Used to be that when someone passed you on the street talking to himself, you quickly and naturally recoiled because the guy was obviously nuts. Now you have to check for a Blue Tooth ear plug, which causes you to lose precious seconds, seconds that could mean the difference between life and death if the guy is looking to hack at you with an axe, chainsaw or Bowie knife. And God help you if you happen to be talking on your own cell phone when Lizzie Borden starts whacking your tacks.

Pat, thank you for resisting the temptation to take such a high-minded post as this and, ...flush it.
Re: A Travel Tip
Cas, it's a little mental game I play when I see someone talking to himself, called Psycho or Cell Phone. I'm not very good at it.

Re: A Travel Tip
There's a third option. I'm always thinking they're talking to me and sometimes even start to respond, if their statement is appropriate for such. I end up embarrassed when, actually, I think they should be. Psycho or cell phone or talking to me? I'm also not good at it.
Re: A Travel Tip
George, there is still room for improvement. My GPS pronounced Blytheville, AR, the other day as "Blithaville."

Dave, stick Lillooet or Craigellachie in GPS and see what comes out.
Re: A Travel Tip
Cas, not if there's a lady present.
