I went out with my girlfriend... we will call her Thelma.. and that must make me Louise....I don't know anything about GPS... BUT... I have a funny thot about me and my map reading abilities.
Anyhoo, we are traveling to Bryn Mawr to find the graves of her recently deceased father's parents. I said I would tag along for ****z and giggles. When we get together , trouble immediatly follows.
So, we leave and it's about an hour or so away... well about an hour and a half later, we still can't find this hidden cemetery where dear old Gram and Gramps are laid to rest.
Thelma drives like a maniac with her knees while looking at maps and Nextel walkie'n her hubby... we are so lost she walkies him and says.. Mike we are lost... we can't find it.. blah blah.. she's getting ticked off. She hands me this giant map and says.. "Here, find such and such street...." GULP.... I neglected to tell her before take off that I have never read a map in my ENTIRE life...... Okay.. I'll give it a whirl.
She says find K15 and C8 or some crap like that???? I said there is nothing there... she says WHAT????!!!! Oh Jeezuz!! (Cars honking... people flipping us the bird/yelling LOOK OUT!, etc....) I said.. "well, I don't read maps real so good..."
She gets on the walkie and said.. "MIKE!!?? MIIIIIKEEEE!??? Janine can't read a F$#@in' MAP!!!!!!! *$#@!!! **$##@!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but I AM fun at parties!!!8) You can't be cute and a redhead AND read a map... I'm sorry , it just ain't happenin'!
So long story short, she read the map and drove while I reached for my second Imodium AD...and we finally spotted the cemetery!
It was huge and by act of God, I actually looked over and saw the stones like 18 rows back!!! I actually redeemed myself!! She says "How in the HELL did you see those names from over here when you can't read a fluffin' map??!!!!
I waited in the car after 2 hours of white knucklin' it down there.......when we were ready to leave, we were pullin out and we both looked at each other...frazzled and relieved and I said... "Lay some rubber, girl!!!' We did a smokey burnout out of the cemetery coupled with some insane laughter!!! So I don't know what it had to do with this post but I will say this... '" I wish I could afford GPS" there, that makes it related to the original post !
Thanks for putting up with my snarky comments....
