What exactly is it you want to know?
BTW, do they have GPS units that talk?

Good question.

I don't need a talking GPS.

I have a wife.

When I ask her where the off button is, she gets sulky and rude.

ROTFL!!!!!


Once in a while, when required, I just point the TV clicker at Mrs.E. and
frantically push buttons.
Sometimes she gets the hint.


I've done that for years.

It never seems to work though.


Slight left turn: My statistical sample of two women says something's odd
with all of them. Two examples:

1) You're watching a movie. Someone is about to say something VERY important
to the plot of the movie, and it's plainly obvious to any regular person
that it's going to be whispered. At that precise moment, women will say
"pass the popcorn". It's always when you're watching something you can't
rewind.

2) This has happened multiple times, so I know it's an absolute thing. I'm
in the back of the boat, steering with the tiller on the outboard. We're in
a river known for lots of floating tree chunks, travelling at
log-appropriate speed. Woman's sitting up front, and claiming she will let
me know if she sees anything. When she does, she announces it in a voice
appropiate for the bedroom, not for a situation where there's 75 db of motor
noise. When I (with great respect) mention this discrepancy, I'm told I'm
grouchy.
