senoritafish | Another Angusism

Whenever I visit my brother Doug, I often come home with a bag full of stuff, either because he's been cleaning, or something caught his eye for the kids. The last time, among the items he gave me were three watches with animals on the faces - a humpback whale, a tree frog and a toucan (you can see the whale and frog here). He told me he originally got them with the idea the kids could have them when they learn how to tell time. Unfortunately, he didn't notice until a friend of his pointed out that they had no numerals on them, and might be hard to use for kids just learning how to tell time.

So I thought I would abscond with the one with the whale on it - a nice pic of a humpback beginning a leap out of the water, with what looks like Alaskan coastline in the background - and I put it on.

Later, while I was typing at the dining room table, Angus stands next to me, looks at my watch, and says, very imperiously and authoritatively:

"You can't tell time with THAT! It's got NO NUMBERS!"

I nearly sprayed whatever it was I was drinking at the time all over my keyboard.
