o[/sup]C this morning
Pen, we've been conversing for all this time and this is the first time you told me you have a car that can talk.
I couldn't find any stories about talking cars. But I will make cars the theme for today.
Actually Jack, i can recall quite a few times over the years where Penny has referred to her " talking car " usually just telling her what the current temperature was or the upcoming weather forecast.
It has reminded me of a pretty ordinary American T.V. show that ran in the early eighties.
I think it was called Knight Rider & " starred " David Hasseloff of Bay Watch " fame ".
Anyway the real star of the show was the car ( called Kit ) which was not only indestructible but would talk to his driver & whenever they were in trouble, Kit would always come up with the solution.
It was a pretty ordinary show with it's concept of a car that talked to you & basically told you what to do & when to do it considered to be entirely fanciful.
Jump forward 40 odd years & all of a sudden it is not such a silly concept as all of today's modern cars do in fact talk to you & try to tell you what to do.
Equipped with state of the art communications screens & satellite navigation systems they either tell or show you how & when to do everything.
The younger generation seem to love these features but personally i do not like them.
Do you remember the insurance ad where the sat nav was telling the driver to go straight ahead off the end of a jetty?
I've been trying to find a copy of the ad without any luck, maybe you could help me out with that.
I enjoyed your joke about the retired bloke with nothing better to do than to agitate the parking officer but it has inspired me so you had better warn June that if she is bringing Sealy into the city then she should park very carefully because rather than just receiving a minor parking fine, she may incur something much more expensive if i just happen to be in the vicinity & feeling a little bit bored.
Really loved the joke about the nun with the bed pan putting petrol in the car , can just imagine witnessing such a thing & thinking exactly the same as the characters in the joke.
