I Need to Know the Time

Within a smoking lounge. Two gentlemen sit across from each other on high back leather chairs.

“Pardon me Professor Hemisphere. What time is it?”

Pulls out his pocket watch, “Em. 8:32.”

“Thank you.”

“Certainly sir.”

“Pardon me Professor. What time is it?”

Plucks out his pocket watch again, “It is…10:17.”

“Thank you sir.”

“Anytime, Doctor.”

#

“Excuse me Professor. What time is it?”

Hemisphere raised an eyebrow at the doctor while reaching for his watch.

“Sorry Professor. My pocket watch is broken. The world is supposed to end at 12:34.”

“Are you serious, Doctor Precocious?”

“Absolutely.”

“It’s, 12:33…”

“Farewell….”
