I think I'll go against character here and post something other than a joke:

In today's technological age, the body's natural clocks are being hijacked by timetables, schedules and diaries. By paying more attention to our watches, rather than our internal clocks, could we be losing touch with time as it should be perceived?

You know, I've noticed that whenever I bring this up, people consistently get all serious. That's really weird. It's as if they're either concerned for my mental state (and I'm like, why now, all of a sudden?), or they're afraid, deep down, that I might be onto something after all and need to reassure themselves.

It's a joke, folks. Work with me, already. A JOKE.

Nah. You just triggered a "that's a seriously interesting topic" response, is all. Time is a fascinating subject. We could waste a lot of... time... talking about it. :)

Yes, I've heard water retention can be an issue for some folks.

There's a loophole to that: Just simply reference another time zone where it isn't Wednesday.

If I'm going to bother finding a time zone where it isn't Wednesday, I'm going to spend all that time looking for a time zone where it's always Saturday, or payday, or Christmas.

The day of the week doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's five o'clock somewhere.
