Puzzle Description:

Do you really need a description? Looks like a wrist watch and a sickly succulent houseplant on a glass-top end table. Need the answer? In the first spoiler.

Timetable.

No funny videos about timetables but here is a funny story:

A man is at Grand Central Station waiting for his train that leaves at 6 p.m., but he has forgotten his watch. So he looks for someone to ask the time. He spots a guy carrying two suitcases and sporting this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he asks him for the time.

The guy replies "Sure, which country?"

The fella asks, "How many countries have you got?" to which the man replies, "All the countries in the world!"

"Wow! That's a pretty cool watch you've got there."

"That's nothing," the man says. "This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive NTSC television channels and display them on its miniature active color pixel LCD screen!"

"Boy, that's incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one. You wouldn't consider selling it by any chance?"

"Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900, if you want it, it's yours."

The watchless traveler can hardly whip out his checkbook fast enough to hand over a check for $900.

The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him. "Congratulations, here is you new hi-tech watch." Then, handing the two suitcases over as well, he says, "And here are the batteries."

And another story, this one is for real:

Each Friday night I drove my wife to the train station so she could go visit her sister who was ill. Ten minutes later, MY sister arrived by train so that she could help with the house and kids over the weekend while my wife was gone. On Sundays this procedure worked in reverse with my sister departing by train 10 minutes before my wife arrived.

One evening after my sister left and while I awaited my wife's arrival, a porter sauntered over.

"Mister," he said, "you sure have some system going! But one of these days you're goin' to get caught!"

Love the stories! The plant threw me off as to the word.

Yeah, I thought s table without anything on it would be just too obvious.

Sounds like stuff out of Reader's Digest.

Perhaps the watch joke could use a bit of updating. Nowadays, the suitcase is needed for all EULA licenses for the watch.

Thanks for both the puzzle and the jokes!

I guess I'm showing my lack of technical savvy here, but what are EULA licenses?

End User License Agreements I believe.

Nice.

Nice puzzle

cute! great detail in the watch crystal.

Fun!
