I don't know what does.

So it's an off day and all I have going on is a teleconference at 9:30AM. After my coffee I decide at 9 AM I'll take a shower. Bluesy winks at me on the way to the shower so I put it on my wrist and figure we'll both get clean. So I'm in the shower cleaning the sub and admiring the deep blue smile of the dial and the way it looks so perfect with water droplets adorning its handsome features all the while trying to be conscious to not stay in the shower too long and miss my teleconference. So time goes on and here I am staring at the sub and trying to estimate how long I've been in the shower when a voice in my head says: "Yo, daft one, that thing on your wrist you've been fondling is called a watch. Absurd as it may sound, some people actually use this to tell time. Take a look at the big hand and the little hand. You've got 15 minutes left." And I think: "Brilliant!"...

Yup, that does sound pretty WIS-like!

Thanks for sharing that story!

True love I would say. Maybe do a bit of role play next time, Bluesy could be a GMT 11 and you could go for the wiggle test
