GPS, Maps and a Sand Storm

I have never been a fan of GPS's - yes, they have their place but to me they take away the fun of "getting lost" and the feeling of accomplishment of arriving at your destination based on nothing more than 10 year old memories or having correctly read the map.

The makers of today's car units must've had a sense of humour when they gave the unit a female voice - because a GPS in the car doesn't stop the "back seat driving" by the other woman.

Why ladies go to the bathroom in pairs

I cannot for the life of me work out why ladies go to “powder their noses” together, despite the fact that I am a lady. (Maybe I'm not, but that is another topic.) It was never an issue. I would watch the other ladies at the table nudge and wink at each other and then tootle off together. This was great – it left me alone to chat with the guys and when the urge to go became overpowering I would politely make my excuses and make my way to the ladies ALONE.
Then the other night, something odd happened.
