Don't be cilia. I don't see this as a very fertile breeding ground for puns. Amaeboe splittin' pretty soon but I'm sure a few of you clockwatchers will be here all night moldering over this topic. On the one hand, I would think that you could get rid of these clock germs with just a little Dial soap, but then again, they may take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. I guess only time will tell, and we'll just have to watch. Tocking about it isn't going to solve anything, and you'd have to be cuckoo to think it might.
...That's just my humble opinion...on the face of it.
