Man walks out of the grocery store carrying two bags of groceries.This kid says sir,can you tell me what time it is? The man replied no... because the next thing you'll wanna know is what I have in these bags.Then you'll wanna go home with me and enjoy the good meal we're gonna have tonight,then you're gonna meet my daughter,then you'll fall in love,then you'll want to marry her.Quite frankly I don't want anybody to marry my daughter when they can't afford a watch!

I walked into a high end gallery in Santa Fe, NM years ago. They had a little display case in front of the desk person and in it was a very unusual watch. I looked at it through the glass and asked the lady how much...
"One point two..."
I said, "One point two what?"
She smiled and said "Million. Gerald Genta".
I thought about it a bit and calculated that for that sum, I could have a crew follow me around each eight hours shift and every time I needed to know what time it was, one would blurt it out. I would have enough money left over to pay for numerous college educations of poor and indigent folks. One Point Two. Some people really should not wear watches.

If she'd said that it was also sat on by Elizabeth Taylor the price wd have been Two point two.
