<p>I set my GPS to the British female voice. Crisp and authoritative. If I were a fetichist, I could imagine her in leather with a whip–but I’m not. I needle my wife by saying Miss Navi is endlessly patient, and never has a mean thing to say. But I could imagine a GPS voice selections saying things like “recalculating, you idiot!” And how about cartoon or movie voices? Homer Simpson: “You missed that turn, doh!” or Oliver Hardy: “Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten us into!”</p>
