Self-Driving Car

Self-driving car,
take me near.
Take me far.
But you better not
leave me in the parking lot.

Take me to a date,
but not with Sally - 
this time, Kate.

Hello David, What I really love is how you make a high-tech world feel so painfully human with dates, awkward detours, and all. Poor Sally! Does the car have a memory chip for heartbreak too? Or is Kate just waiting curbside with the engine running? Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

haha, I think its memory was scrambled before it came out of the factory. It has crazy taste in women.

Now that could open a whole can of worms. Any ideas how to erase GPS/satnav memory? I just can’t delete Busty Bertha From Bristol.

haha...I don't know enough to help you with that sounds like the kind of problem I have when my self-driving car, for some reason, keeps driving me to the bar.
