Too bad he didn't get that far.

I figure this is all the more reason not to buy a used watch. At least not from this guy. I never had much worry about used bicycles. I guess because they really are placed under your legs, while to hold onto a watch there it would have to really be between. Wouldn't it.
How much does an expensive lock for a watch go for, anyway.
I'm just kind-of explaining why this guy rates a "sheesh" while the contestant who goofed on Murphy Brown just was someone who didn't know their TV actresses/shows. It caused them to go out at a similarly low level, but at least I can understand getting who-played-what wrong, while the layers of logic that didn't get followed in this question are just at another order of logic-layer. Or something.

Nothing about the dream either. Oh well.
