Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here. I got this present for my wedding - it's a GPS Puzzle box. I'm having a little problem with it... You see, for years I have had a strange fascination with button-pushing... I mean...TV remote buttons, elevator buttons, ejection seat buttons.... Anyway, when I got this gift I pushed the button A LOT because it was a really great button as far as buttons go (and I know my buttons). The thing is, there's apparently a 50 push limit before it doesn't tell you where to go anymore... and now I'm lost in France of all places, and I don't know where to go to get the box open! I tried using LeGooglé to see if I could find some help forums or something, but I forgot that there's an invisible uselessness bubble encircling all of France - and even google turns useless once you're France. Also, now that I'm in France, I'm pretty useless. If anyone outside (and not french) could help, that would be great. #puzzles

@Allwheeldriveturbosportwagon: Whereas "broad" has a derogatory connotation (based on a term used by butchers for a piece of meat with a hole in it), the term "dame" is one based in honor , and being a classy dame myself (in the best Mickey Spillane fashion) I dont have a problem with that. #puzzles
@LolpantsofArabia: btw, I'm not convinced by your derivation of 'broad'. I can find suggestions that it's simply a reference to width, or that it comes from 'abroadwoman' (ie. not with her husband, and therefore a slave or prostitute), but nothing about meat. I'd be curious to see a reference, if you have one. #puzzles
@LolpantsofArabia: Wiki defines it as derogatroy while text copied from the Urban Dictionary defines it as "a butchers term for a slab of meat with a hole in it.
men use it to classify women". I cant seem to paste links, but you can look either one up, in case you dont consider slave or prostitute to be bad enough. #puzzles
@Curves: I'm still not buying it, and I can't find any other reference to it as a term for meat. I'm not wholly sold on the 'abroadwoman' thing, either.
No question, though, that it's in some way derogatory – but the fact that it's fallen out of use for that reason makes it usefully evocative of a certain genre. Still, best to jump on any words you don't like, eh? #puzzles
@LolpantsofArabia: Since you responded to my comment, yes, I felt quiet justified in it and I still stand on my opinion that marrying a man who calls you broad is a bad idea. #puzzles
@Allwheeldriveturbosportwagon: I somehow dont think I would marry a guy named "sausage" but if thats what he wants, fine.
Behind closed doors, all bets are off. ;) #puzzles
@GitEmSteveDave_Hates #DoucheDad: No, but bald germ-a-phobe pops out to tell you that you just accepted a deal from the banker and traded in your dignity which is what was in the case to begin with. #puzzles
@halozcalling: I don't think any part of the video is real.

Still - broad, dame, whatever. I was going for anything that worked with a typewriter and a cigarette. #puzzles
