Reminds me of a song by Chicago, does anybody really care what time it is?  I think this fellow does!

Some are thankful they get to drive their collector car that sits in the garage twice a year.

 

He should be thankful that he gets to interact with his collector clocks twice a year instead of just staring at them.  But if he ever does gets tired of changing them, he can always move to Saskatchewan!!
