I never know what time it is.

That is why I carry a cell phone.

:mp:

I have a habit when around lawyers to let them talk and when they ask questions, I will ask a question about something else just to let them keep talking.

It is more so when a surveyor is a lawyer, I can't seem to help from doing whatever I can to irritate them as much as I possibly can.

Maybe that comes from my times being in court and testifying.

Lawyers have a tenancy to attack your testimony when possible and that is at every chance. Even your clients attorney can ask the wrong questions , especially the ones not knowing that much about land or title.

It always makes my day when they ask the court if they can consider the witness hostile and they open up their egos and do what they can to bring out your anger. It amuses me so much, once I burst out laughing and the judge smited me somewhat and wanted an explanation of my laughter.

[sarcasm]"Your Honor, if he can prance around, bust a gut, get flustered and make faces, why can't I laugh?"[/sarcasm]

I was warned about possible contempt charges from disrupting court and in the meanwhile I settled down.

Their job is to take whatever you say and attack you and your answer.

[sarcasm]My job is to let their blood pressure rise enough that their face turns red, they sweat excessively and they possibly pass out.
[/sarcasm]

I used to drive my stepdaughter crazy with that kind of answer. Near candy machine, she asks, "Got a quarter?"

I check in pocket, reply, "Yes." and walk on.

Then she asks "Can I have it?" She never did learn to ask the right question the first time.

I would answer, "You mean now?"

Actually, from the data presented, the answer should be no. While you could say yes, it would only be applicable to the time zone you are in, and that may not be germaine to the situation at hand. 🙂

My children would ask, "Can I have a quarter?" and I would reply, "I don't know, can you?"

Then they would say, "May I have a quarter?" and I would reply, "If only you had said May I, I would have let you have one."

It still took each of the three about 20 times before they learned, "May I?", but they still ask the question correctly, because they learned the hard way.

Perhaps "I believe so".

Don't want to get tripped up with the fact that "time" is a constantly changing element or dimension. Also that you may be able to look at a watch and know the time within a certain amount of precision. You could even know the day and that it's morning and that is what time it is as well; to a certain amount of precision. I would not say "more or less" or "not exactly" in my answer though.
😉

Okay, I'm playin' Nate a little here. Your point is well taken. Don't volunteer any more than you have to. You might get all tripped up by a guy that's a good tripper.
