Exhausted from driving, a traveling salesman stopped in this one town, and pulled over to get an hour or two of sleep. But, as luck would have it, the quiet place he happened to chose was one of the streets that the majority of the townspeople used to take their daily run.
The salesman had barely pulled over, and gotten comfortable when a jogger was knocking on his window, asking, "Excuse me, but do you have the time?"
The man looked at his car clock and answered, "8:15".
The jogger said thanks and left.
The man settled back and again, and was just dozing off when there was another knock on the window and another jogger, "Excuse me, sir, do you have the time?"
"8:25!"
The jogger said thanks and left.
Now, the man could see other joggers passing by and he knew it would only be a matter of time before another one would disturb him. Hoping to solve this problem, he took out a pen and a paper and put a sign on the window saying, "I do not know the time."
Again he settled back to sleep, and was just dozing off when there was another knock on the window.
"Sir, sir? It's 8:45!"
