It’s shortly after three o’clock in the morning. Far, far from home a dog-tired driver decides to stop by the roadside for a couple of hours’ sleep at the wheel of his car. He drops off almost the moment he closes his eyes, but is soon awoken by a man tapping on the window. “I say, you don’t happen to know the time, do you?” the stranger asks.
“It’s gone three o’clock,” the dazed driver replies. He winds up his window and soon falls back into a deep slumber.
Half-an-hour later another individual knocks on his window, also demanding to know the time. The driver once again gathers his thoughts and responds that it’s just after three-thirty.
When the same thing happens yet again, the now increasingly irate, sleep-deprived driver raises his voice at the passer-by: “It’s four o’clock, for Pete’s sake! Why can’t you get yourself a decent watch like the rest of us?”
This time when he winds up the window, he is determined not to be disturbed by anybody anymore for any reason for the rest of the night. Hurriedly he pencils a note with the words “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!”. He attaches it to the windshield and drifts off back to sleep again. Not long afterwards the note is spotted by a helpful police officer. He knocks on the man’s window to inform him it’s five past four.
