TIME--WHAT TIME IS IT?
From Knob Knowledge
What time is it? Sir/Ma'am, I am deeply embarrassed and greatly humiliated that due to unforeseen circumstances over which I have no control, the inner workings and hidden mechanisms of my chronometer are in such in accord with the great sidereal movement by which time is commonly reckoned that I cannot with any degree of accuracy state the exact time, Sir/Ma'am. But without fear of being very far off, I will state that it is _____ minutes,_______ seconds and ______ ticks after the _____ hour, Sir/Ma'am! (By your wrist watch.)
