I left the building by a side door. 30 minutes after the final bell, the rules are that students are to be off campus. Two students were sitting on the retaining wall at the end of the walk, near the parking lot. “Hey, mister – you got a cell phone?” Was this the classic ‘may-I-borrow-your-cell-phone scam?
“Tell me why you want to know.”
“Oh, I just wondered what time it is,” he said, quite as if it was the normal way of the world.
“I have a watch; it’s 4:15.”
“A watch! Cool!”
Another generation gap: Many kids don’t wear watches. They carry cell phones that have the time accurate to within a few seconds – most of them. A few waiting for rides didn’t have a phone, and so they had no way to know the time.
How much longer will Rolex be able to hold on?
(Where were their parents or other rides?)

It seems like Rolex will do just fine, along with the other luxury watch makers. I read an article recently that said the fancy watch manufacturers are still seeing sales increses, while the cheap watches are in decline.

The funniest explanation for this was “Because you can’t drive a Porsche into a bar”.
