Do you have the time?
A man is walking by the mental hospital & suddenly remembers an important
meeting. Unfortuneatly his watch has stopped & he can't tell if he's late or not. Then he notices a patient similarly walking about within the hospital fence. Calling out to the patient, the man says, "Pardon me sir, do you have the time?" The patient calls back, "One moment!" & throws himself on the ground, pulling out a short stick as he does. He pushes the stick into the ground & pulling out a carpenter's level, assures himself that the stick is vertical. With a compass, the patient locates north & w/ a steel ruler, measures the precise length of the shadow cast by the stick. Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates rapidly, then swiftly packs up all his tools & turns back to the pedestrian, saying, "It's now precisely 3:29 p.m., provided today is Aug. 26, which I believe it is." The man can't help but be impressed by this demonstration & sets his watch accordingly. Before he leaves, he says to the patient, "That was really quite remarkable, but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at night when the stick casts no shadow?" The patient holds up his wrist & says, "I suppose I'd just look at my Rolex."
