Time For Humor
The applicant for a job hauling freight coast-to-coast was asked if he was acquainted with the several time zones.
"Sure am," he replied, "And I'm prepared, too! In my left-hand pocket I carry a watch for Eastern Standard time. In my right-hand pocket I carry a watch for Central time. On my left wrist I carry a watch for Rocky Mountain time. On my right wrist I carry a watch for Pacific Coast time.

The elevator pilot in an office building grew weary of repeated requests for the time. At last he put up a shelf in the corner of his elevator and placed a small clock on it. That stopped people from asking the time. Now they ask, "Is your clock right?"

"Isn't it time he finished?" the weary pew-holder whispered as the preacher talked on and on.
"Time!" replied his companion, bitterly, "Time!" He's exhausted time and encroached upon eternity!
