Maybe he went to punch off the alarm clock in his hotel, missed (because there wasn't one there) and hit himself in the eye.
I never use an alarm clock. I'm one of those people who wakes up right on the dot when I need to. Except, with this time change, I'm waking up a hour early.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

That's just an opportunity to have a beer, get started earlier!

Then why do you need a clock?

So I can see what time it is.

Why do you have a black eye?

Because you didn't have my GODDAMN dinner on the table at 5pm. Now get me a beer.

That is a good question, why does a retired union rep need to know what time it is?

So I wake up in a dark room. Is it 4:AM? 5:53 AM? 6:30 AM? There's only one way to tell.

I have a rule of waking up when it's light.

In any hotel, I always pull the room darkening shades.

I’ve had a trainee three trips in a row now and they get the decent room at the station for the “full experience”. I get put up at the Quality Inn for $90. Apparently room darkening curtains require $100 or more. I get lousy thin curtains and a “room darkening” curtain set that doesn’t move anywhere on either side of my thin curtains. And you complain about clocks.

The repetitive role play of not knowing anything or being able to do anything is annoying. Really, on a technically-based forum, the never-ending mantra kinda gets thin. But, since I'm the only one reacting, maybe I'm the only one getting annoyed.
You're not.
But I also agree that some of TT's posts are entertaining.

When I say I don't know how to do something it's because I don't.

I don't know how to do a brake job on my car. I don't know how to prepare my tax return. I don't know how to swim. I don't know how to knit. I don't know how to drywall. I don't know how to make a cake. I don't know how to dance. I don't know how to play cards. I don't know how to book a flight online. I don't know how to fix my lawn mower when it won't start. After attempting it once, I discovered I don't know how to cut my own hair. I don't know how to speak French. I don't know Morse Code. I don't know how to tell the time without a clock. I don't know how to make a Martini.

But I get the point. None of you are interested in my lack of skills. So, from now on, I'll avoid posting on subjects that would require me to make such an admission.

You gotta lighten up Turkey. It's social media. Part of the terms of use is to bust each others balls. I'll tell you the same thing I told Tin Foil Cap:

Lighten Up Francis.

A lot of younger people who have decided to remain children well into their 30s have taken to buying black construction paper and putting it over their windows. Extra points if they put a towel under the crack of their door.

The gas stations finally got their revenge.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
