Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

My radio-controlled watch is going to be out by a full second? I could have just have gotten a normal watch if I was willing to live with such ******** inaccuracy

Well, I was going to leap second on Saturday.

I let my buddy leap first.

After seeing the mess he made on the sidewalk, I chose not to leap at all.
