Have you ever noticed that when people ask you for the time, they point to their WRIST? It's like the standardized sign language for, "what time is it?" or "I'm an idiot, I don't have a watch." More often, though, I don't even wear a watch, yet I always know exactly how LATE I AM. Why, you ask? Because I carry my CELL phone!
So, what if you walked up to someone, and holding your fingers like a pretend phone on the side of your face, you said, "Excuse me, do you have the time?" I think they'd get the point.
And while we're on the topic, why DO people point at their wrist to ask the time? Does that mean that if we ask where the bathroom is, we should gesture to our crotch or point to our butt? Hey, I just think if we're gonna decide on a universal code, then we need to be CONSISTANT.
