When You’ve Totally Time-Zoned Out, Part 2

Reading this story reminded me of a similar experience in my own youth.

Whilst on holiday in Spain, a few mates and I are watching a football game being played in England. A team scored in the first half, and one of my mates says to me:

Friend: “I’d best phone my dad and tell him to put a bet on [the player who had just scored] as first scorer.”

Me: “Why? He already just scored.”

Friend: “Exactly. If he goes now, he can get the bet in before it happens in England.”

Me: “I don’t… wait.”

All of us turn away from the footie and stare at our friend. Trust me, for a bunch of British lads to take their eyes off of the game, something must be REALLY distracting us.

Me: “…[Friend], do you think we’re an hour ahead of England… as in an hour in the future?!”

Friend: “Well, yeah. It’s three here but only two back there.”

We didn’t let him live it down the entire holiday.
