TerryB Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Reminds me of a song by Chicago, does anybody really care what time it is? I think this fellow does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 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!! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
