He noticed a big digital clock near a food stand, that showed 8 o’clock when he arrived, but two hours later, it already showed 12 o’clock. He thought it was just broken, but kept glancing at it every now and then. When the clock reached 25, it finally dawned on him that he wasn’t looking at a broken clock, but rather a thermometer. He loved that story.”
