A Question of Time

A Tit for a Tat (86)

Tit: What would be a stupid question?
Tat: ‘When did the clock breakdown today?’
Tit: Why is that a stupid question?
Tat: Now, this is another stupid question! Think about it!
Tit: The first question is stupid only if the clock was working well before it broke down! Think about that!

Notes: ‘When did the clock breakdown today?’
The answer is obvious – the time it stopped working is on the clock face. (E.g. 1.23pm)
But this time is accurate only if it was telling the time accurately in the first place. (E.g. the real time could be 1.24pm then.)
