To avoid the problem, he got out a pen and *** and put a sign in his window saying, "I do not know the time!"Once again he settled back to sleep.

The man looked at the car clock and answered, "7:15."The jogger said thanks and left.

"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked. "It's not a gong. It's a talking clock" the drunk replied. "A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend."Yup" replied the drunk. "How's it work?" the second guest asked, squinting at it. "Watch" the man said. He picked up a hammer, gave it an ear shattering pound and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed "You friggin' IDIOT!...it's ten past three in the morning!"Smart TimeA man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly remembers an important meeting.Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell if he is late or not.

The Tutima DI 300

Water resistant to 30 bar, 300 meters, or almost 1,000 feet. Available with an orange or black dial.I don't know much about Tutima watches, however I am suddenly compelled to learn more. Hopefully I'll be posting a hands-on review in the not-too-distant future.When Tutima calls the DI 300 "the sports watch for active yachtsmen," they are apparently willing to put their money where their mouth is. Last year, during the Nord/LB Baltic Spirit Cup, the Tutima racing yacht (appropriately named "TUTIMA") pulled an orange-dial Tutima DI 300 behind it for 2,000 nautical miles (or about 2,300 regular miles for us landlubbers). I think they made their point that the Tutima DI 300 is water-tight, corrosion-resistant, and has an extremely robust bracelet and clasp.The specs on the Tutima DI 300 go something like this: Titanium case. Solid titanium bracelet. Screw-down titanium crown. Unidirectional rotating bezel. Sapphire crystal. Automatic movement with day and date.
