Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for March 16, 2025

Another one you have to think about. It’s a winner, Dave.

I hope this isn’t a test.

Going nowhere fast…

That’s funny!

Sounds like very opportunistic software

Reminds me: The first fully automated, non-human piloted plane takes off. Once in tha air a voice comes over the PA system, "welcome aboard the first fully automated plane, Nothing can go wrong, can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong,

It would be funnier were it not so achingly relevant!

Daisy, Daisy, give… me…your…answer … do…

“Will you shut up?”

Red Shirt?

you know this ain’t gonna end well

This dummy is in a screen test for Crash.

Doing donuts.

He’s definitely going the wrong way. He is supposed to be meeting up with his twin brother in a semi truck.

“Make a U-turn, Dummy!”

W turns are tricky.

True story: I was once driving in an unfamiliar area. Google tells me: “At the light, turn right.” So I do. It tells me “Go straight on [whatever road] for 5 miles.” I go 5 miles, it says, “At the light, make a U-turn.” WTF? So I do. It says “Go straight on [whatever road] for 7 miles.” I could have made a left at the first turn!

Before becoming a test dummy, he had to take a crash course.

shampoo bottle: wash, rinse, repeat.

Danger, danger…..

The testers have already made sure that there is no such opportunity.

Oh, took me a minute. They always get stuck in cars heading straight into a brick wall. :-) Good one.

Snicker out loud.

I like the red Starfleet shirt.

As Red Fox would say- You big dummy!

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

At the sign post up ahead: No U Turn lol

This is way too real. Fell for it once in Ireland. From then on, we double checked everything the GPS told us to do. It would often demand a U-turn when we were already facing the right direction, and often placed us off to the side of where we actually were. Once, it sent us up the wrong road altogether.

I think this will keep him making U turns around and around. I’ll circle back when I figure it out.

…and this is just to get out of the Tesla dealership’s parking lot.

NNNOWWW!!!

If the road is too narrow go with a J Hook.

a racetrack?

knick-knack (St) Patty-whack

buy the dog a phone

Amazing how much more prevalent you see U turns happening in the real world since GPS and smartphones. It’s how you know tone deaf 3rd world programming exists ! ;-0

That’s why the female sheep didn’t run off the cliff. She made a ewe turn.
