Dave recently enabled the Siri function on the iPad. For those of you left confused by this new name, let me explain. The Siri function is a voice-recognition system that allows us to descend to new levels of laziness. No longer do I need to find your email address, now I can just say your name and up pops the possibilities. I am shocked by how accurately Siri recognizes what I say; truthfully, I expected a lot more funny interpretations than she has produced. I also discovered that she has some great canned responses to difficult questions.
For example, before the kids left for school today, I was checking my email. I closed my account and Siri popped up asking if she could help me with anything.
I thought, "Sure, you can," and asked, "what should I serve for supper tonight?"
Siri replied, "I can't help you with that."
Of course, I kept asking, "Where is my husband?"
I loved her response, "I do not know who your husband is. In fact, I do not know who you are. If you told me, I could help you." Are there really people working at Apple whose job is to devise possible questions and their answers? What sort of qualification does one need for such a job?
I finished off my morning conversation with, "Siri, I love you." To which she replied, "I am only here to serve."
This might possibly be a solution to the loneliness of the stay-at-home mom. At least a short-term one.

This made me laugh pretty hard. Thankfully I'm recovered enough that laughing doesn't hurt anymore. :)
Ask Siri "how much wood, would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" I laughed when I heard her answer.
Sr. Theresa, 42 a as my answer.
funny... Siri on my brother-in-laws phone replied 'A woodchuck is really a ground hog so the question should be 'how much ground could a groundhog ground if a groundhog could ground ground.' She must not have been in the mood to play???
Patrick and the boys and I were experimenting with the wonders of Siri after dinner one night. He asked her, "what is my wife's name?" and she replied, "I don't know." So he told her my name and she said, "okay your wife's name is Jim Copleston." This happened three or for times.
The boys were laughing uproariously.
After several tries, Patrick asked Siri, "what is your husband's name?" and she replied "I only have eyes for you, Patrick."
!
He has since changed the voice to the male option and stopped asking her pointless questions.
