Loaned Watches Run Loose in Detroit Free Press Tale
A Detroit Free Press reader narrates borrowing several watches from a jeweler for repair. The timepieces wander wildly from eight oclock to past three, then tumble to impossible hours. After two hours, noon becomes seven, then a quarter to seven. One watch jumps 16 hours in an hour. The satire ends with belief that three watches lie, implying the wearer and timing are unreliable.
