GPS's provide unintentional humor.
I like the cases when truckers use them to navigate. The GPS will give a correct route, but it
won't mention little details like the clearance of the bridge the truck has to pass under.
Seeing a stuck 18 wheeler, with half the roof of the trailer peeled away by a low bridge is a source of grim amusement. Thinking about how the driver will explain it to his dispatcher is too.
