War Of The Watches


I have never been successful at owning a watch. I have purchased scores of them over the years but they never last for various reasons. I usually get cheap watches, but about a year ago I got a decent watch and I was out in the rain the other day and the rain got into the watch and broke it. I also bought my wife a watch for Christmas last year and it broke. I bought a watch with a leather strap also last year because I wanted a watch to wear when I was outside hiking around but because I have little girl wrists, it doesn't really fit even though I make it as tight as it will go. I guess I could poke another hole in the strap but that seems so ghetto. I wouldn't even carry a watch if I didn't have this bizarre obsession with knowing what time it is. I bet Jack doesn't have these problems.

I also always need to know the time. But I use my cell phone instead of a watch. And I'm sure Jack doesn't have this problem because the time is always flashing across the screen.

Hey Herb, watches went out of style sometime in the 60s. Nice try. Cut your nails too.
