Whoaaah ! Never expected that innocent little post from the Urban Panther to take such a turn for the worse! Even Steve my usually 'Oh so faithful' work colleague even flat out told me that I took quite a beating in the latest Panther post! And he seemed even sympathetic to the cause too! Heck, even Rob, my EX favorite brother-in-law (Worst Brother-In-law Ever), stabbed me in the back! Talk about male bashing!
First of all, let's get one thing straight: real men don't need a GPS (French pronounciation is Jay-Pay-Hesse). How do you think humanity has gotten to the point we're at today??? How did man come to leave Africa, the birthplace of humanity, to populate the rest of the world? Because of the male hunter/gatherer sense of direction! The GPS had nothing to do with it! An accurate sense of orientation is embedded in the male genoma. It just comes naturally ! Heck.... we were in BC a few weeks ago and we got a GPS with the rental car, just for kicks, and I had fun just hearing the female voice's suggestions. Heck, she was wrong half the time!!! I did notice some improvement when we switched it over to the male voice. The directions were much more accurate. More accurate, but still unecessary. Even in a strange town my hunter/gatherer senses took over in a jiffy with flawless accuracy. In fact, my sense of direction lead us to discover really beautiful places that would have gone unseen had we followed the GPS' directions.
Nope ! The pink GPS is not a selfish gift! It is simply to complement the new car of the Urban Panther. Ooooh yeah ! Very sleek and sexy lines, lot's of power and..... a fabulous looking rear end! Plus, she even drives a Volvo C30!!!
To her own admission, Elizabeth does not posess even a hint of a sense of direction. She did give a few gift suggestions, such as $100 ceramic tile (for just 1 6X6 tile!) but I really think that a pink GPS will be much more useful for her transition into a new, unfamiliar city. Don't you agree!?
