When I saw this clock, I realized that it wasn't functioning (anymore) because the actual time was a couple of hours earlier.

Misleading to a certain extent, but with the next story in mind, I'm not complaining:

"Three clocks were tested (computer wise) about their functionality. The first one was always perfectly in time. The second one always shows the time two minutes too late, while the third one was completely defective. The surprising result of the test was: the first one was the best one, because of showing always the correct time. The second one was ripe to be thrown in the garbage because it never showed the correct time. The last one however was tested as the second best one, because it showed twice a day the proper time." (😜) !

Maybe a manic situation, hence it's both my contribution for Manic Monday (M²) and, although not manic, for the SNATM-theme (🎥) too.

With respect to the latter: it's my representation for both the Italian 1959 film Time Stood Still (Il tempo si è fermato) and the USA 1956 film Time Stood Still.

Not only do like this one Mr. C. but your narrative as well, and reading it it's perfect for M.M. Also a great theme match. tigs=^..=

I like your reasoning on the clocks SEA, they gave me a huge smile.
I don't think I have seen the movie.
A good fun shot both for Manic Monday and SNATM 👍👍

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I too like your reasoning on this Mr. C. - and it works well for the Snatm theme too.
