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 o
ne
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!.“
