They're in bed with google, so they'll have your entire search history, website visitation, your emails, your shopping habits, your history of GPS phone locations, truck locations, everything. I shudder to think about what's going to pop up on @Oldfart's screen.

Mine would be flashing every time I passed a sheep or a goat! That would get annoying if I already have one with me.

I had a girlfriend once who would forget to breathe during sex and pass out. She neglected to tell me that the first time we got busy. Talk about an Oh Shoot! moment ...
