**GPS VOICE: ** "take exit ramp 3, then make a right turn at stop sign. Proceed over the river and through the woods...........

:b_confused:

it's a US holiday; colonists celebrated big feast with Indians (American Aboriginese), much eating, watching football (not soccer, but sort of Rugby gone wrong..;), dealing with family relations, etc.

Indeed..@ Bryster...they don't have a Thanksging Day on Mars?...s'mores the pity.. ...

On Mars it's more like "Thank Goodness Day. " I left all those idiots back on Earth. No politicians, no(C)rap music, no Happy Bob's car yard commercials. Just peace,quiet, and the ability to fry your brain out with solar radiation.

Hey! I know what Thanksgiving is. I just don't understandthe GPS etc quote...

@ Cyba:  *Just peace,quiet, and the ability to fry your brain out with solar radiation.

*How do you think I manage all these complicated renders?

Bryster, The GPS units that most people use in their autos nowadays talk to you, the intended pun is the old song verse......Over the River and through the woods.........To grandmothers house we go.

AAAAH   got it...had me a tad confused as well I must admit...quite droll now that I know.. ...

;-)  My GPS sez "Goodmorning, Dave"

Just getting over my turkey coma today. Hope yours went as well if not better.

*"My GPS sez "Goodmorning, Dave""

Heh heh heh...*I gotta remeber that if I ever find myself with one, but I don't even cell phone ...when I'm out of the house I am in fact Unavailable...please leave a message with my android replacement!...suprising how insulted some of my friends have been by that message but  I decieded I have to have tme off my personal grid so unless I lose my mind and get a license[still never had one at 59] and buy a car[Bought one, sold the car, bought a guitar, changed m name to BobbyStahr], *shudder ...*I'll never get a cell. They are a very good emergency contact device tho so are very good all charged up in the glove box .. ...

Thanks Quest, We made enough to feed an army and they're only here for the one day........which leaves me to Tryptophan the light fantastic.

bobby: Since I've changed occupation, the last years minutes have dwindled and forced us to downsize to pay-as-you-go phones. Only 30 mins a month or less.

My GPS is a pain. Every time I use it, it says things like "turn right. Turn right! I said turn right now!... *sigh, make a U-turn on the left. Turn left! Your other left!... "

LOL

Yeah,...........mine has a British accent,..........say's things like "turn left at the next crossing,.........tell me, exacttly how does a person of Irish lineage come to own a car like this ? It is really yours, isn't it ? "

My GPS says "Stop listening to your wife, she is holding the map upside down, ant its the one for Utah." 

Good advice. We live in Australia. 

LOL @ D@M !

it's an old song - "over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go"...don't know the rest, but you could Google it.

the Americans and the English; two peoples separated by a common language - GB Shaw..;)

I don't have a GPS; just two kids that say, "Daddy, why don't you just stop and ask directions?"

Pakled: There's a wonderfull story about the NASA Moon shots from a long while back.

Ya see, in the UK, being 'on the job' means 'to have sex'. 

Well back when those guys were landing on the moon, as I recall, Joderal(ss) Bank, the UK tracking station, was helping out with communications -relays and all that technical type stuff. This was all open-mic stuff where everyone could hear everyone else so that if something went wrong everyone in the system would be able to pass on information etc etc.....

Well the Houston guys ("Huston we have a problem") asked the astronauts how they were feeling after a particularly tough day and couldn't understand why the Brits fell about laughing when the astronauts replied, "We're all pretty tired, we've been on the job all day..."
