Late By GPS

NANNY: I've never been so late for anything. Why did you go that way?

SAM: We were late for the appointment, but there was no harm, the Doctor wasn't ready for you until just after we got there.

NANNY: Vern would have got me there on time. Vern knows that 15 minutes early is on time and on time is LATE! Made me miss hearing about Lurilines grandchildren in the waiting room.

SAM: The GPS provides the most direct route between locations Nanny, it's a technological miracle.

NANNY: Might be the most direct way, but it certainly ain't the quickest. Only a fool goes down route 26 during hay season. Lady in that box doesn't even speak American.

SAM: We would have been there early if not for the hay wagons, that's true. The GPS voice has an English accent. I think it sounds cultured.

NANNY: Everyone knows not to use that road on a sunny day during hay season. Besides, we don't need that GPS thing for trips up to the city, been driving there for twenty years, it's ridiculous.

SAM: Local common knowledge does have value. Perhaps there's a way to add such data to navigation systems. But then again, much of it would be unnecessary. How many travelers would use it. Sometimes technology is extraneous.

NANNY: That's what I said!
