Day or Night

Saying for the Day- How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. ~Zall's Second Law

The world is getting weirder and weirder.

I read that a Swiss watchmaker has created a watch that will not tell you the hour or the minute , yet alone the day. All it can tell you is if it is day or night. It does this using a complex measurement of earth’s gravity.
The CEO of the company said “studies show that two-thirds of rich people don't (use) their watch to tell what time it is anyway. Anyone can buy a watch that tells time but only a truly discerning customer can buy one that doesn't. “

That truly discerning customer can get one of these wonderful watches for just $ 300,000. Now that’s a real bargain.

Just think of what a great statement your new day and night watch would make.
It would tell people that you are crazy rich or rich and crazy.

It would also be a great conversation piece.
The conversation might go like this.

Harry– Fred what time is it?

Fred– It’s daytime.

Harry– Stop kidding and look at your watch and tell me the time.

Fred– According to my $300,000 watch it’s daytime.

Harry– Doesn’t it tell the time.

Fred- No– But the salesman said that only a truly discerning customer would buy a watch like this.

Harry- The kind of customer who would buy that watch starts with D alright but its not discerning.

Now if your really interested I have a day and night watch I’ll sell you for $30. It works very well.
You go outside and look at the face. If you can see the numbers on it it is day. If you can’t its night.
Be a discerning customer and I’ll sell you one.
#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal .Mrs. Petrovich stopped in to Nancy’s for coffee and Nancy said she is sure the woman is pregnant. It’s either that or she has really been eating. Nancy brought the conversation around to Bonnie McGregor’s pregnancy in the hope that Mrs. Petrovich would make some comment about her own pregnancy but she didn’t. But it is still obvious.
Willie ,the town drunk, swears he saw a whale in the lake of the Loon’s yesterday. It was in the morning before the school picnic arrived Willie says he knows a whale when he sees one.
When the picnic started Willie was telling everybody about the whale but none of the kids saw it. It would be pretty hard to hide a whale in a lake the size of the Lake of the Loons.
The picnic, despite Willie, was a grand success. There were pasties, ice cream , and soda pop. One of the teachers , in a suit, got knocked off the dock into the lake. Tommy UK helped him out and said that he was thankful the whale didn’t get him. Everybody laughed , even the teacher. The Tommy Club played the Jocks in baseball and got beaten fifteen to one. There were games, and races, and swimming. All in all it was a good end to the school year.
