Why GPS is Better Than a Wife
Here are some reasons:
- A GPS does not act all grumpy when asked to navigate.
- A GPS receiver does not take 30 minutes to tell you where you were half an hour ago.
- A GPS does not get directionally confused by the highway loop around the city.
- A GPS does not skip one page in the directions you printed out from Mapquest.
- A GPS does not refuse to navigate when you don’t take the route it recommended.
- A wife does not cheerfully recalculate a new route to your destination when you don’t take a turn.
- On the other hand, a wife will not suggest you cross a river. Instead, she’ll force you to stop.
Got any more?

A GPS won’t keep you warm at night. ;)

Well I have a few on why a GPS is better than a husband but I’ll just state one.
“A GPS does not have a ego and when it doesn’t know how to get you somewhere, it just tells you so!”
:)

Koonj: Your comment created a very disturbing image in my imaginative mind and I can’t seem to shake it off now. Thanks!
Renee: Thanks.
Lena: True, true.
Marigold: How about some more?

A GPS has no ears, no eyes, no heart but only a blind brain.
There is no replacement or equivalence of mother and wife

“GPS stays off when you ‘shut it’!!” LOL :D

yet a GPS will not give you a lovely little daughter!
