TIME GALLOPS ON
“A woman in a London court was asked to tell when two minutes had elapsed. A barrister timed her with his watch. “She said ‘Now’ when 25 seconds had elapsed. “Perhaps she didn’t want to waste the time of the court. But you who think you could do so much better, try it. And you’ll be surprised that you have ever been late for an appointment or missed a train.”—Glasgow Herald.
