The GPS Lady

Have you ever wondered what the GPS lady looks like in real life? Is she really a Swedish model named Garmin (pronounced Garmeen)? Does she sensually place her finger in her mouth every time car makes the "next left turn?" Or is the voice an old, strict Italian woman named Magellan who shakes her prickly finger every time she has to "re-calculate the route" due to construction or a wrong turn? Or is the woman who is the real GPS voice reading this article and shaking her head because my images don't depict what she actually looks like...yeah right.

Regardless, the real voice of this person must live a depressing life. Who ever thought that someone would spend more time behind a microphone than John Madden? This poor lady from these GPS companies has to stay in a room and read off pages and pages of sound bites. I just wonder what would happen if the car that she was monitoring never runs into a situation where aliens abduct half of the car, MEANWHILE a flock of sheep block half of the intersection while a 5.0 earthquake goes on under the car. "She" wouldn't know what to say, but maybe that's a good thing so she'll finally shut up.
