A man is at Grand Central Station waiting for his train that leaves at 6 p.m., but he has forgotten his watch. So he looks for someone to ask the time. He spots a guy carrying two suitcases and sporting this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he asks him for the time. The guy replies “Sure, which country?” The fellow asks, “How many countries have you got?” to which the man replies, “All the countries in the world!” “Wow! That’s a pretty cool watch you’ve got there.” “That’s nothing,” the man says. “This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive television channels and display them on its miniature active colour pixel LCD screen!” “Boy, that’s incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one. You wouldn’t consider selling it by any chance?” “Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900, if you want it, it’s yours.” The watchless traveller can hardly whip out his checkbook fast enough to hand over a check for $900. The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him. “Congratulations, here is you new hi-tech watch.” Then, handing the two suitcases over as well, he says, “And here are the batteries.”
