(paraphrased from Douglas Hubbard, in How to Measure Anything), p. 98...

A drunk was observed looking in the street as if he had lost something. A passerby asked, "Did you lose something?"

"Yes, I lost my watch in the alley," the drunk replied.

"So why aren't you looking in the alley?" the passerby asked.

"Because the light is better out here."

What's so funny about that?




I STILL haven't found my watch though......but it sure is lit up well!!!

---

It's funny because it symbolically applies to the human race in general. We'd sometimes rather take the easy route, no matter how absurdly stupid it is.

---

HEY!!! Is that some kind of crack at me???

(Did you happen to see my watch????) :thumbright:

---

I'm wearing it.

Finders keepers. :wickedfart:

That's ok....it was one of those fancy "digital" watches, which I couldn't tell time on anyway.
The only watch that worked for me was the one that I could watch "Mickey's" hands on.
