The official way

Its always a relief when I'm all geared up for "The Question" and instead the lady asks what tartan my kilt is... It does get tiring having to answer the same inane question over and over and over and over again. Sometimes, in frustration, I find put a wee bit more bite into my response than is called for.

I remember many years ago when I was in college, my then girlfriend worked with a researcher who walked with crutches. He also wore a pocket watch.

One day they were walking toward the elevator at closing time. She said to him "May I ask you a question?"

She said his face immediately showed great tension, but he said, "OK."

"Can you tell me about your watch?"

His worried face warmed into a broad smile and he spent about 10 minutes showing her the watch and telling her all about its workings, case, and where he got it.
