Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 But... but... but, is the sun o'er the yardarm?? "A traditional nautical saying to indicate that it is time for a morning drink. It was generally assumed in northern latitudes the sun would show above the foreyard of a ship by 1100, which was about the time in many ships of the forenoon ‘stand-easy’, when many officers would slip below for their first drink of the day."

Ozark Huckleberry Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 One year I had a group of students who were the worst clock-watchers I'd ever seen. Most didn't wear watches, and cell phones weren't allowed in class. Took the wall clock face off, adjusted the hands on their spindles so that at 12:00 the hands would be aligned at 3:15. Later in the week changed the reference alignment to 7:35, then kept shifting it. Drove. Them. Nuts.
