Forget what it’s called, but I get that when I leave my house and close the garage door, then halfway down the next street out of sight I can’t remember whether I’ve put the door down or not.
If you were a youngster growing up in the 1950s, you would know that every day Monday through Friday at 5:30 p.m. was Howdy Doody Time. The progran aired from 1947 til 1961. The TV program would air with the show’s host Buffalo Bob asking "Kids, what time is it? The answer came back that “Howdy Doody Time.” Then its theme verse would be sung:
It’s Howdy Doody Time.It’s Howdy Doody Time.Bob Smith and Howdy tooSay Howdy Do to you.Let’s give a rousing cheer,Cause Howdy Doody’s here,It’s time to start the show,So kids let’s go!
My very good (very old) digital Timex has pretty much gotten to the point where it’s too dim to use. Even with a fresh battery in it. Makes me sad. I’ll probably just do what everyone else has done and use my phone, since I have no desire to spend $dozens to buy “health monitor wrist computer” thing.

When you’re as old as Earl and Clyde does it matter what time it is? Except Earl would want to know when it’s dinner time.

Confusion is relative. My uncle Homer was mostly confused, but that was the Buckeye beer talking.

Someone with ONLY one watch or clock, always knows what time it is. Anyone with more than one NEVER knows what the time might be.

I recall some other guy looking at his watch three times (at least.) Believe it was in Dover, DE back in 2021 if memory serves correctly.
