ask him when 12:00 pm is - noon or midnight. He says he knows that answer but remains in disagreement with it. He thinks 12:00 PM should be right before 1:00 AM since it would keep the numbers going in the correct order. He also believes that the number 1 should be at the top of the clock instead of 12. He thinks it is one of the main reasons why things are so screwed up on this planet. He wants to know why the last number should be the first instead of the first being first. I gotta admit that I think he's got something to that argument of his. <Vonnegut snuffs his cigarette out in his empty shotglass and mumbles something about how time should have followed the binary system of numbers.
