NOTLguy Loc: Niagara on the Lake, Ontario
 
I have a little Satnav
It sits there in my car
A Satnav is a driver's friend
It tells you where you are
I have a little Satnav
I've had it all my life
It's better than the normal ones
My Satnav is my wife
It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's sixty kilometers per hour", it says
"You're doing seventy five"
It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake
It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene
It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counselling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off.

Good one!!

Although I have to admit that I once was complaining to my wife about how she is always giving me these "unneeded directions" as I proceeded to drive right past our driveway towards the next block. Her laughter at my untimely mistake still rings in my ears to this day.

I remember one of the first times I went somewhere with my now ex-wife. I was a police officer and we were talking about the job and I was explaining to her that we are born observers and constantly study our surroundings. We got into my car and I promptly backed into her car which was parked behind my car and I had failed to see it.

But, you know, you now have a great story to tell and it does you great credit that you're not ashamed to tell. Good for you!

Yes guys, I guess we all have similar stories. All I can say is that my wife is almost always right (may be that's why I sometimes want to switch her off :lol:
