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!."
