I actually set my clocks AHEAD and then realized that wasn't right, so I had to set them all back TWO hours - I really enjoyed that TWO extra hours of sleep!

Thirty years ago, just before a flag football game was to begin, a player ran in from the parking lot, pulling on his jersey as he arrived at the pregame huddle. The annoyed coach asked, "Where the h311 have you been?"

"I got all messed up with the clocks," said the tardy player, whose excuse seemed to placate the coach a bit.

Well, there are three plausible possibilities:

1. The player forgot about the time change.
2. The player set his clock forward an hour.
3. The player set his clock back an hour.

In the first case, he should have been an hour early.
In the second case, he should have been two hours early.
In the third case, he should have been on time.

I thought about mentioning this to the coach, but the guy who was late was very large.
