MY GARMIN
I have a little Garmin
It sits there in my car
A Garmin is a driver's friend
It tells you where you are
I have a little Garmin
I've had it all my life
It's better than the normal ones
My Garmin is my wife
It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty 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!
I laughed! Mrs Billings didn't find it so funny. Apparently Garmins aren't programmed with a sense of humor???

You found the answer to: "I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off!"
She may remain "turned off" for a bit, though.
That's a keeper:-):-) 🙂 🙂 🙂

Oh, how i'm going to get flack for sending this onto my wife. OR, maybe I will get silence for just a little while;-)
Mrs. Bubble says the reason men love the talking GPSes with the female voice is because they can listen to the directions and completely ignore them.
(She made this observation when we went to the store in the survey chariot, which boasts two Garmins. One is set to "Shortest Path" and the other is set for "Fastest Time -- Avoid Highways." Both are set for the British Ice Queen voice. Neither one knows the shortcut.)
