Military Intelligence, Part 5
(A customer drives up to my window and hands me a ticket.)
Me: “Hello, sir. The charge is $8, please.”
(The customer hands over the money and then looks at the screen which displays the charge amount.)
Customer: “You know, your screen is confusing. Before, it said 18, and now it says 8.”
Me: “Yes, the screen displays the time before the ticket is read.”
Customer: “Hmm, then you better fix your clocks. I don’t think I have ever heard of 18 o’clock.”
Me: “The clock is on military time.”
Customer: “Oh…”
Friend in Customer’s Car: “Didn’t you serve in Iraq?”
