Do you know what happens if you drive your car with an open can of Pepsi 
on the passenger seat?

You know, that is why they invented cup holders?

More precisely: You ARE, in fact, stupid.

They make ones that tuck into the window sill or glove box that cost like $1.50.

Heh. To think that for a dollar I could have avoided this... I'm really 
not very intelligent.

Hmm, I wonder... Have they invented a way to attach a satnav device to 
your car in such a way that it won't constantly fall off??

You confuse stupidity with ignorance. Ignorance can be cured. (Indeed, we 
just did that.) Stupidity hurts forever. :-)

Well, mine is built into the dash. ;-)

Otherwise, I've found a drop or two of silicon gel on the back of a suction 
cup before pressing it to the glass will keep it there for at least several 
years. (The bird feeder hasn't fallen off the window since I did that, a 
good 3 or 4 years ago.)  Of course you have to let it dry completely before 
you put weight on it.

No, there are all kinds of ways in which this unfortunate event could 
have trivially been avoided. Hell, I could have just tipped the drink 
down the drain before driving off. Or just waited until I drank it all. 
But noooo... I was too stupid. :-/

Trouble is, you then advertise to everybody that you have an easily 
removable satnav hidden somewhere in the car, and they should break in 
to extract it...
