- maccard 3y agoI think that's not so strange. If an alarm clock is expensive and hard to come by, one person in the town has a lucrative business by owning one.
- qup 3y agoI didn't include the previous sentence, which said that alarm clocks had put the knockers out of business, save a few, like the guy the quote was about.
