S... I... R... I

So Siri is Apple's... what do we call it, helper thing?  And I have a couple of funny stories that revolve around it.

If you're not familiar with Siri, you "activate" it by saying "hey Siri?" to your device.  And then you can ask it something.  (I see it as a type of google/search engine but that's just me.)

So anyway..... I was in the middle of a massage this week and we were chatting about whatever and all of a sudden we hear Siri say "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that?"  Well I start chuckling and my massage therapist is like ????

"Is that your phone?" I asked.  No, he says, but I got a speaker but I thought I turned it off?

So then of course I can't resist calling out from the massage table, HEY SIRI HOW'S THE WEATHER! while laughing away.

I think my massage therapist might rethink the smart speaker, and I figure me saying "I'm sorry but... blah blah blah" might have been "heard" as SIRI with my slightly Scottish accent?  Whatever it was I said that set it off, it was a hilarious moment of WHAT?  (for half a second I thought someone had walked in to the room!?)

The next story is from last night when I was hanging out at Jason's.  There was some spring training baseball game earlier in the day where the pitcher had taken a hit right in the head.  It looked awful to me but Jason said, no no, it was a glancing blow so he's fine.  I said no, I don't think he's fine and Jason again was like nah, it was a glancing blow, all good!  So I asked "Hey Siri, what is a glancing blow?" because I thought maybe we had different ideas of what "glancing blow" means and after the slight pause Siri says "ok, here's some information about Cocaine!" and we both burst out laughing.

Poor, sweet Siri thought I wanted to talk about blow.... as in the slang for cocaine!  HA!

So, yeah... Siri and I are having quite the week, eh?  (And yes, I resisted saying the name in the title just so as to not draw her/its attention here too!)
