Military Intelligence, Part 5
MILITARY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, MONEY, PARKING LOT, USA | RIGHT | APRIL 24, 2010
(A customer drives up to my window and hands me ticket.)
Me: “Hello, sir. The charge is $8, please.”
(The customer hands over money and then looks at screen which displays charge amount.)
Customer: “You know, your screen is confusing. Before, it said 18, and now it says 8.”
Me: “Yes, the screen displays the time before the ticket is read.”
Customer: “Hmm, then you better fix your clocks. I don’t think I have ever heard of 18 o’clock.”
Me: “The clock is on military time.”
Customer: “Oh…”
Friend in Customer’s Car: “Didn’t you serve in Iraq?”
