I feel dumerer for having read this

Yes, I carry one so I can hold it in one hand while I twirl my billy club in the other hand and say: "It's late. Best be gettin' home now laddy."

Only thing in my pocket is an 8 ball of coke

20-25 years ago my watch needed work and I decided to just quit wearing a watch. I've never regretted that decision.

It's like Kid Rock said:

(Eight ball, side pocket) Eight ball in my jacket

"Excuse me, do you know what time it is?"

"Yeah, time for you to get a watch."

Phonograph would be a better comparison.

Break it out you bogart!

No. I’m a straight male.

Put it on vibrate with it cold on the back of your sack game. I can't borrow one now

By some of these reply's it's pretty obvious that Philfree has a certain Savoir-faire that many here don't.:) Years ago I had a ball mark repair tool that had a clock on it. Had a Chiefs logo ball marker as well. It was pretty cool.

Aprox 25 years ago My grandson bought me a pocket watch with a fast pitch softball scene engraved on the cover, as I had played that great game in my youth. It no longer keeps time but it's hanging on my 2001 chevy short beds rear view mirror.
I once had a elderly client whose father's pocket watch was stolen during a house breakin. As he explained to me his dad got it when he retired from the RR, he literally sobbed for 10 minutes . Nothing I could do. Man that was sad.

I started carrying one when I was (briefly) a member of St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison (my wrist watch kept getting caught on my habit sleeve). I carried on an and off for years until I got a cell phone.
