It’s About Time

Dear It’s About Time,

 

 

That’s what I’m going to say to my future wife when I want some kids. Ha! I crack myself up. Anyway, I was wondering if you did custom watch repairs. I know you take ordinary watches and do ordinary repairs. I’m talking heavy duty repairs, here.

 

You see, I want a watch that has 26 hours for every day. It would go up to 13 instead of 12. This is because I like to live in my own imaginary world where no one exists save the coconut gods. You must make sacrifices to the coconut gods or they will get angry and make it night time. One time I offered them 5 goats, 3 pigs, and a rat and there was daylight for weeks. But another time I failed to bring them anything and the sky was pitch black for 57 years. They wouldn’t forgive me! O coconut gods! Please forgive me! That’s what I said. They said no! 13 hours, please. This way I can have time to make sacrifices to the gods and wash my socks. I own 8.6 gallons of socks. They are green.

 

How much do you normally charge for installing extra hours into a watch? Can I pay in American pesos? Is there tax on it? How much? Can I pay for the watch upgrade in American pesos and the tax in Cuban peanuts? Thanks. I appreciate your kindness.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Dickinson
