    A broken clock is right twice a day, but a running clock is probably never right.

      At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what “right” really means

        Two wrong don’t make a right, but three left turns do.

        Or if the “present” actually exists

          🎵 Time is an illusion that helps things make sense, so we’re always living in the present tense… 🎶

        I’m really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren’t it really starts to bother me.

      A broken clock may occasionally be right but it’s regularly useless

      If you’re lucky, a clock that’s slightly too fast or too slow will be right once

      My grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it

      *It must be correct as it’s very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past
