When I was teaching school I got some shoe polish type tins with coal in them and "Naughty" on the lid.  I gave them out to the kids the last day before Christmas vacation.  One of my students lived a block away and the family went to the same church I did. 

 

The girl's mom sat down next to me in the service on Christmas Eve and showed me the can.  She leaned over and whispered "Just how naughty has she been?"

 

We both cracked up laughing right in the middle of a very quiet and solemn service.  Oh, the looks we got.

 

After the service the First Counselor asked me what that had been all about.  When I told him he also busted out laughing.

 

I've always been blessed by having been surrounded by fellow smart asses.  :D

I’s STILL like to know how Adelade is half an hour different!!

It's on Indian time. Or maybe Russian time. I think both of those are a half hour off.

Neither. To say anything is on Russian time is like saying it’s on USA time. Russia is 11 time zones wide sometimes.

 

some explantation is here.
