    May not be a Darwin Award Winner but certainly in the running for Upperclass Twit of the Year.

    Robert said, "I just trusted the satnav. It kept insisting that the path was a road even as it was getting narrower and steeper.


    People like this are the reason God invented the practical joke.


    I assume his last name, Jones, is British for Gullibletard?

    I affectionately refer to my Garmin as the Ghetto-seeker. No matter my destination, it never fails to direct me right through the heart of the ghetto. Instead of just two decisions for quickest and shortest route, there needs to be a third for suburban, scrawny, white-boy route.

    On behalf of everyone on this site, I'd just like to cover Gene Autry for a minute.


    Oh, give morons free range, lots of land under starry skies above,
    Don't fence 'em in.
    Let them drive through the wide open country that I love,
    Don't fence 'em in.
    Let them drive by themselves with their brains at ease,
    And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
    Send them off cliffs forever but I ask you please,
    Don't fence 'em in.
