Biff sent me over there yesterday for a laugh, but I didn’t have time to post. Besides, how many more Brooklyn blogs can I risk banning me? You guys were pretty funny. Was this really Mr. B’s post, or was it one of youse???
When I rented a car in Israel, I also rented a GPS unit to help me get around. I’m thinking of contacting the manufacturer of this Israeli GPS and negotiating an exclusive contract to sell it in the US. I think it would be a best seller. I’d market it as “The GPS with Attitude”. Here is what makes it such:
-your typical American GPS unit gently coaxes you to “Please Turn Right”. The Israeli GPS unit blurts out the command “Turn Right” with a slightly annoyed tone.
-when you miss a turn with an American GPS unit, it takes it all in stride. It gently informs you that it is “recalculating” and in a minute starts giving you the new directions. The Israeli GPS insists that you follow the original route it laid out. For 15 minutes after you miss your turn, it barks out at every interestion: “Make a U-turn!”
It’s hysterical: “THe GPS With ATTITUDE”! I even have a take-away line: “For those times when dad can’t navigate”.
Slopefarmer, in the better late than never category, or so I hope, I printed some light reading material for this weekend.

I missed one or two myself, as I was informed (offline) earlier this morning!
