I'd like to join, and here is my time-related joke:
A man had been driving all night and by morning was still far from his destination. He decided to stop in 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 knock on his car 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. Just as he was dozing off 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 approaching from both directions and he knew it was only a matter of time before another one disturbed him. So, he got out a pen and paper and put a sign in his car window saying, “I do not know the time!”
He then settled back to sleep. Just as he was just dozing off, someone knocked on the car window. “Excuse me! Sir, sir? I just wanted to let you know: it’s 8:45.”

Thank you everyone. And thanks to Penguin Pete and MikeyT for running the show and providing the watches, respectively. I am thrilled to be the latest WAM winner. The last time I won something in a contestdrawing/raffle was more than 20 years ago.
I am thoroughly enjoying my time at Wrist-Sushi. I've learned more about watches here in the last month than I had in the previous decade.
I assure you, I will give these watches a good home. I may even use my newly purchased press to try my hand at replacing the cracked crystal.
Thanks again.

Or I could just continue to enter every month and hope for the best!

Or I could just continue to enter every month and hope for the best! I simply google 'random number generator' then pick one. So far I have used three different ones. Add to that the number of posts has differed each time. There you go; three good reasons to be paranoid I think you last option is the right one
