A man had been
driving all night and by morning was still far from his destination. He decided
to stop at the next city he came to, and park somewhere quiet so he could get
an hour or two of sleep.
As luck would
have it, the quiet place he chose happened to be on one of the city's major
jogging routes. No sooner had he settled back to snooze when there came a
knocking on his window. He looked out and saw a jogger running in place.
"Yes?"
"Excuse
me, sir," the jogger said, "do you have the time?"
The man looked
at the car clock and answered, "8:15".
The jogger said
thanks and left. The man settled back again, and was just dozing off when there
was another knock on the window and another jogger.
"Excuse
me, sir, do you have the time?"
"8:25!"
The jogger said
thanks and left. Now the man could see other joggers passing by and he knew it
was only a matter of time before another one disturbed him. To avoid the
problem, he got out a pen and paper and put a sign in his window saying,
"I do not know the time!"
Once again he
settled back to sleep. He was just dozing off when there was another knock on
the window.
"Sir, sir?
It's 8:45!."
