Chris has an 8am meeting with new clients at Pebble Beach, but he\u2019s new in town and completely lost on the Monterey Peninsula. In the midst of his cursing and thrashing about within the cockpit of his car, he turned on the built in emergency phone system called OnStar. A woman\u2019s voice came from nowhere, which startled Chris and caused him to veer off the road and into a mailbox.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy name is Linda. Are you OK, Mr. Rogers??
\nChris, mistaking Linda for the voice of God reprimanding him for all of the sex, drugs, and rock \u2019n\u2019 roll he experimented with in college, started to cry.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Linda-God. Have mercy on my soul. I promise I\u2019ll be good.?<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Rogers, this is OnStar. Look at your dashboard. See the OnStar button??<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, hah. Yeah. While you\u2019re on the phone, can you give me directions from wherever I am to the nearest hospital and then to Pebble Beach??<\/p>\n
Inevitably, as often happens with these new fangled OnStar devices, Chris, despite following the directions exactly and making u-turns as instructed, found himself completely lost. In fact, he wasn\u2019t just lost. He had come to rest in the Monterey Peninsula ghetto. Yes, there is such a thing.<\/p>\n
So, no hospital. No golf. Probably, no new clients. And now he\u2019s lost in the ghetto. Worse yet is that he just noticed that the no-flat tires on his Cadillac didn\u2019t make it their guaranteed 50 miles.<\/p>\n
I think it\u2019s quite obvious what happens next. His car breaks down. He is forced to strip from his golf clothes and is beaten with his driver by a 12 year old. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
