A stressed-out traveller at an airport was worried about missing his plane so he asked a man, 'What time is it?'
The man set down his two large heavy bags, looked at his watch and said, 'Exactly 5:09, the temperature is 73?, and it'll rain later. In London the sky is clear with a high of 28? Celsius. And let's see, in Singapore the sun is shining brightly. And...oh, this is interesting, the moon will be full over Los Angeles tonight.' 'Your watch tells you all of that?' asked the traveller' Sure. In fact it tells me much more, This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive NTSC television channels and display them on its miniature active colour pixel LCD screen!". You see, I invented this watch and I assure you there's no other timepiece on earth like it.'
The man said, 'I simply must have that watch. I'll give you? 10,000 for it.' 'Okay,' said the inventor, 'it's a deal,' and held out his hand for the money. The traveller grabbed the watch and put it on, smiling with delight. But before he could take a step the inventor stopped him. 'Wait!' Then he reached down for the two big heavy bags and said, 'Don't forget the batteries!'
