Whew! I was up all night changing the clocks. I go through a little ritual... [View all]

1) I thrust my hips at the clock in order to assert dominance.

2) I then set the clock ahead ahead eleven hours, instead of turning it back one hour. They both have the same effect, but setting it ahead eleven hours is my way of "sticking it to the man".

3) I boldly yell at the clock "YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH"!

You can probably see why it took me all night to change the clocks.
