Really. That must have been an amusing scene…
"We quickly rectified this by pressing several buttons to show the English abbreviation, ‘TUE’. Fortunately, it was not the patient’s time to die at all. But unfortunately, due to the power of suggestion, he died. "
I like a comment someone on another board made:
“For you, it was an omen of death.
For the clock, it was Tuesday.”
And because the patient was French, he killed instead.
If he was French he would have surrendered.
But was it the patients time to Tue?
ETA: And the next day, he just HAD to get married!
It does it every day at 3:10.
You’ve got the cockamamie clock upside down.
I think it is the rationing caused by socialized medicine. It was no accident, it was cost control.
I want to be there to see what happens on Friday.
“Downstairs, for the first time in years, there came a knock on the door.”
- points for spotting the reference.
It’s just German. It means “The Bart, The”.
“No one who speaks German could be an evil man!”
Spider Robinson’s short story “No Renewal” I did that without looking!
It’s in his collection of non-Callahan stories called Melancholy Elephants.
That book also has one of my two favorite short stories ever, “True Minds” Mr. Robinson himself signed the book for me, next to that story, saying For Denise-This is the first time anyone’s told me they like this story! Thank you, Spider Robinson
Brilliant.
Who are you quoting? Not the article. The patient, like Tiny Tim, did not die.
The Englishman with the French clock wanted to kill the clock when it insulted him on Sunday.
This is why you never purchase clocks from the Tyrell Corporation.
Methinks you’ve been whooshed.
