A man had been driving all night and by
morning was still far from his destination.

He decided to stop at the next city he came
to, and park somewhere quiet so he could
get an hour or two of sleep.

As luck would
have it, the quiet place he chose happened
to be on one of the city's major jogging routes.

No sooner had he settled back to snooze
when there came a knocking on his window.

He looked out and saw a jogger running in place.

"Yes?"

"Excuse me, sir," the jogger said, "do you have
the time?"

The man looked at the car clock and
answered, "8:15."

The jogger said thanks and left.

The man settled back again, and was just dozing
off when there was another knock on the window
and another jogger.

"Excuse me, sir, do you
have the time?"

"8:25!"

The jogger said thanks and left.

Now the man
could see other joggers passing by and he
knew it was only a matter of time before another
one disturbed him.

To avoid the problem, he got out a pen and
paper and put a sign in his window saying, "I do not know the time!"

Once again he settled back to sleep.

He was just
dozing off when there was another knock on the
window.

"Sir, sir? It's 8:45!"
