Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 12, 2014
Transcript:
Pig: Oh. No. The little knob on my watch broke. Rat: What were you trying to do? Pig: I moved it two hours ahead when I went to Texas. Now I'm back in California and I need to change the time back. Goat: So what are you gonna do? You don't want the time on your watch to be wrong. Pig: Guess I have to move to Texas. Rat: There's no problem he can't solve.

If that dumb Pig had a smart phone he wouldn’t need to wear a watch, and not have to move to TX.

Come to Louisiana, Pig. We have the same time zone as Texas and we would Love To Have You For Christmas Dinner! bwahahaha

Please don’t There are already way too many Californians moving here. I mean, they’re not even real people, just walking cup holders.

I had a watch that was impossible to reset because I couldn’t find the instructions. I ended up throwing it away and getting a cheap one where you only had to push one button and hold it while you changed the time with the other button. Now watches are a thing of the past. My cell phone sets the time automatically.

I’m afraid if Pig moves to Texas he’ll be mistaken for a feral hog and end up the center of attention at a barbeque, and that’s the best case scenario.

I live in Chicagoland! The time on Pig’s watch is correct! So there is no need for him to change it!Of course, if he wants to move to Texas, that’s okay, too….

Two hours? I thought when you went to Texas, you set your watch back ten years.

Actually Texas has two time zones so he can stay in Texas during the Daylight Saving change.

Let watch run down, wait two hours, wind. ’Course, if the wind knob is the same one as for setting the time… move to Texas.

True story… Was at the local high school waiting for my son while another student is signing in from coming in late. He asked the lady behind the counter what the time was and she replied that there was a clock behind him on the wall (with hands and numbers). He turned to look at the clock looking puzzeled and then took out his cell phone to get the time digitally.

I’d rather buy a truckload of new watches.

Another plot point made obsolete by smartphones.

With the advent of wireless phones wristwatches have become as anachronistic as typewriters. Certainly it is overkill for someone who doesn’t need to monitor time of day constantly. I am an old (78) fart too, but carry the cell for emergencies, rarely check the time, and never bother with watches – they are mainly for show these days.
