...my brother rather loudly exclaimed "Did you ever notice that little building over there? (pointing) Sounds like there is a very large pump running in there and it seems to always come on when Old Faithful erupts."
Sounds like me when the Boulder Amateur Radio Club used to have monthly meetings at the NIST building in Boulder, which contains THE, I say, THE atomic clock which DEFINES, I say DEFINES, time for most of the Western Hemisphere.
They had a big display of the exact time, I say THE exact time, in the lobby and every time we went in there I'd make a big show of looking at my watch, pointing at the display, shaking my head, and mouthing "It's slow" at the guards.
In fact, I just checked it. It's three seconds slow right now.
