I just figured out why my phone has a feminine voice

I always thought it was because female voices are considered soothing and nurturing. You know, marketing stuff.

in those rare instances where they have moved entire counties, cities, industrial parks, etc, I always ask a woman. The reason is simple. I do not know where Jim's dog got hit last year, nor do I know which is the biggest mailbox on the road. Taking a left when I see Publix is much easier.
