Never trust a woman

August 29th, 2009

I decided to give Roger a holiday.

For those of you who may not be familiar with my ramblings, Roger is the bloke who lives on a satellite and gives me directions through my SatNav.

I don’t know why I thought he needed a holiday.  Maybe it was the way that he could no longer pronounce the simple word “road”.  He had taken to introducing a glottal stop in the middle, so it sort of sounded like “ro.  Oad”.

I decided to hire Molly instead.

Molly was nice.

She had a nice gentle sexy voice, and when it came to matters like avoiding Gorey, it was a pleasure to follow her instructions.

Then we arrived in France.

Oh fuck!

The very first town we came to, there was a clatter of roundabouts in quick succession, and Molly got utterly confused.  Of course I ended up in the wrong place.  I had to stop the car for a bit while she calmed her nerves.

Eventually she muttered something about “women’s problems” and got me back on the straight [and it was very straight] and narrow [actually it was quite wide].

I let the matter slide until we got to the next town.

The fucking bitch got us lost again, and I had to feed her three Valium to calm her nerves.

That calmed her a bit and we managed to reach Rennes before the cow sent us off to Paris, when I’m trying to get to Poitiers.  Now there is a ninety degree difference in the directions – Paris is North East, and Poitiers is South East – so that even a five year old should have found the right road.

I gave out to Molly.

She burst into tears and gave me a load of shit about the problems she is having with her boyfriend and crap like that.

I fired her.

Roger is back.

His deep manly voice of authority guided us without a flaw to our destination.

Never trust a woman.
