Parlez vouz Francais
We have a GPS in the car and it reset itself after we brought it back from Perth. So, instead of a maniacal Glados who occasionally did try to force me to drive down a one way street in the opposite direction, it was a boring female Brit voice.Rather than have that, Packrat decided to programme it to speak French.
Me: But when the directions are in French, the GPS is of no help to me.
Packrat: But you know how to get to most places in Singapore.
Me: Then it's no use having a GPS reception
Packrat: I can relearn my French.
GPS: Tourner à gauche (Turn left)
Me: BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME! I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO!!!
GPS: Perdu satelite réception (Lost satelite reception)
Damn right, lost satelite reception.
