Jane's watch gains ten minutes a
day, while Mary's watch loses ten minutes a day. Jane can put up with her watch, but
Mary seems to be tired of hers....
Jane:
My
watch always gains ten minutes a day.
Mary:
That's funny. My watch
always loses ten minutes a day.
Jane:
No
kidding.
Mary:
I'm serious.
Every morning I set my watch by the radio, but it still loses ten minutes.
Jane:
You
know what you can do?
Mary:
Throw it away and buy a new one?
Jane:
No, you don't
have to. You only need to put your watch back ten minutes everyday.
Mary:
So you put your watch back ten
minutes everyday?
Jane:
Yeah, that's
what I'm doing.
Mary:
Why bother? Just buy a new
watch. It doesn't cost much. Besides, I just can't put up with this thing any
more.
