Welcome to IWETHEY!

New A funny anecdote:
We used a nav system a couple of years ago. It was quite handy. When we got to our destination, however, we stopped using it for navigation and started using it for entertainment.

How, you ask?

Well, we would program a street we had just passed into the thing, then listened to it as it kept telling us we were "going the wrong way."

"Please make a legal U-Turn at the next available intersection."

We just wanted to piss it off. We imagined a cartoonish end to our Navi-Friend... it would start to shake and smoke incessantly, then start shouting,"Turn around, Dumbass! You're going the wrong way! Why the hell don't you listen to me! Goddammit!"

and then it would burst into flames.

It don't take much to entertain the Critterites. :-D

Peace,
Amy

" I tend to believe the great voices of peace throughout history {were} right, and this voice from this little hamlet here in Texas is absolutely wrong. The world is watching what you do here. It is important that you be calm, that you be peaceful, but you be firm. My grandmother {used to} say, \ufffdFight them \ufffdtil hell freezes over, and when hell freezes over, fight them on the ice.\ufffd

New My wife and I joked about that

The voice is so calm and pleasant as long as you obey orders.

We pondered just how pissed off we could make it.

I did find out if I turn too early, it doesn't say a thing.
