The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer and you know what that means. The electrical bills are going up.
No...it's time to fool around with resetting your clocks. Unless, of course, you are rich and have some of those clocks that are tuned to the time channel which is right between the oldies channel and public radio. Heave help you if you're trying to set your clock by public radio. You'll be back in the 70s or something.
The worst clock to reset is the one in the pickup. You have to turn on the lights and move the seat all the way forward and spit over your shoulder to set that one. My Son won't ride in the back seat of the pickup anymore. Like a little spit on his hair really hurt him. Probably made his hair shine and be more manageable.
The dogs get all out of synch, too. I think the Little Dog uses the time change to try and justify his peeing on the carpet. But, I use the old fashioned dog training method. I pick him up and put his nose down by the pee and say, "Big hand on the 12, little hand on the 6! Not the 5....the 6!"
I don't think he even looks at his watch.
The Princess Dog uses the time change as an excuse to sleep in. She wears one of those sleep masks so the light doesn't affect her. And she snores like a chainsaw. I've seen quieter lumberjack competitions than her snoring. Oh, and real butter on her scone, none of that cheap margarine.
So, let's see. How does that saying go?
"Spring forward is worth two in the bush."
Or something like that.
That reminds me of that Chicago song Does Anybody Know What Colour The World Is?
You would think that with all that money they could have used spellcheck.
There's no "I" in "Colour". Or is that "team"? I get them mixed up.
If you use one of those sand clocks, then I guess you'll have to scoop out some sand. Put the sand in the cat box. In the Spring, you'll have to take some sand out of the cat box to put back in the clock. This is called "Having a crappy time." One time a catrocca got stuck in the middle of the clock and I burned the pizza. Not good.
Don't try to reset your sun dial at night. I tried that once and it was 37 o'clock the next morning.
Well, have a good time.
Thank you. I changed my microwave and stove. Everything else is automatic except my damn car which I will mess with tomorrow......
I changed the stove and the dishwasher.
The pizza got really soggy.
Government proving that it can force hundreds of millions of people to perform a pointless action.
Twice a year.
We don’t believe in that crap here in AZ!
Unless, of course, you are rich and have some of those clocks that are tuned to the time channel
Hardly
Friggin Commie bastards!
Ah, the morally superior chime in...
I envy you SOB's!
conspiracy. it’s the bushes!
I change my socks at the same time.
The clerks at the store take a breath and go, “Must be time to change the clocks.”
Once, somebody dropped a jar of Kimchee after I changed my socks and the clerks were late to work for a week.
You don’t believe in clocks?
No wonder you can’t get a three minute egg in Arizona.
Most of my clocks change automatically. My dilemma is this: If my clock changes automatically by turning back one hour and I want to wake up at 7:00 AM tomorrow, should I set my alarm for 7:00 or 8:00? I never remember this. LOL.
I tried to plug my electric clock into a Currant Bush.
Didn’t work.
Must have been a battery clock.
Ahhhhhh.....the Wise Old Indian.
Isn’t he the one who also said, “Always open the flap on the teepee before you take a pee.”?
I no longer wish to change my clock.
I have no use for darkness at 5:00 pm flat.
I’m done with this.
According to Einstein’s Theory Of Relative, you let your uncle change the clock.
Yes, praise whichever guv decided that. However when you drive past the sensor to visit or return from CA, the durn thing doesn’t get your time and makes something up. Hotels room clocks also are whimsical so you have to ask at the desk what the rest of the city is going by. And for extra giggles, ask an Apache or Navajo what time it is. :-)
Remember the old saying,
“Time waits for no man.....but it’ll hang around for a good looking woman.”
