  You can’t possibly be old enough to remember that

    No, but I’m old enough to remember my granddad called it and have the railroad watch he used to carry there. He was an engineer and the trains ran on time. Interesting how long the design lasted.

      I read somewhere that Trains was the reason time ran on time.

      As in, before trains “Mid-day” was a different time wherever you went, it was just the time that the church rang the bell. Sure it was around midday because the sun was up there right at the top, but it wasn’t exactly midday.

      Then the trains came along and they had timetables. To start with they could leave one station a quarter past twelve and arrive at the next one at 5 to twelve, so they had to synchronise the time over the whole line, so that’s why time runs on time.

      Turns out, there’s a ton of good uses for a small pocket.

  No, it’s a pocket for Kevin.
