- jimbokun 5y agoFamously got George H W Bush into trouble during a Presidential debate.
- WalterBright 5y agoThe trick is to look at someone else's watch. Of course, today only old people like me wear a watch. Curses!
- Max_aaa 5y agoThat is cunning.
- WalterBright 5y agoMy other feelthy trick is, for the D conferences, I make sure all the steenkin' badges have the names written large on them, and on both sides. That way, the peanut butter side always lands face up (or face down, if you prefer!). It ensures I never forget a name!
- hughrr 5y agoMy mother’s house is full of wrong clocks. Imagine that terror!
- ghaff 5y agoIs that really true, given fitness/smart watch sales?
- seanicus 5y agoI thought the same thing, but OTOH most of them have screens set on raise-to-wake so you can't sneak a peek at the time anyhow.
- oceanghost 5y agoThis is a huge problem with smart watches.
