Mod 80:

I always used to wonder why I see your name so often while other mods hardly seem to appear! Now I know why.

You wrote re. putting clocks fast: “I do it also. 10 min fast in the kitchen, 15 min fast in the bedroom, exact in the den”.

So you cant REALLY have any idea what the real time is!! Therefore you think this is the time to be on duty at YWN when really other mods are supposed to be on now!

And please let me guess what times other clocks in your house may be set to…

KIDS BEDROOM: 20 mins late so they will be on time for the school bus.

ENTRANCE HALL: ten mins early, so that when guests arrive, you still have enough time to prepare for them.

EN SUITE GUEST BEDROOM (where your in laws stay): 2 days late, so that you can get rid of them nice and early.

BATHROOM: 30 mins late to discourage long term occupancy.

BASEMENT: thirty mins early, no obvious reason.

STUDY: You have 3 clocks; one facing your chavrusa set at half an hour late to explain why you’ve nodded off during learning in the evening. The other two are facing you – one is set to kitchen time (ten mins fast) while the other is set to the entrance hall time (ten mins early), so that between the 2 clocks you can work out what REAL time actually is… 🙂
