[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It’s a Breitling, in case you were in the market for such a thing, dear Reader.

#1 My finest off the cuff riposte of all time: I was sitting in a bar having a drink while waiting to see the restored version of Touch of Evil. A guy and his lady friend, both pretty well oiled were sitting next to me at the bar. The woman admires my Breitling and asks me if it's a diver's watch. I tell her no, it's a pilot's watch. The guy then asks "But is it waterproof?" I replied "Not if you are a good pilot."

#3 I tell her no, it's a pilot's watch.

Wonderful story, M. Pilot’s watches measure height, dive watches measure depth — which is just like height if you’re falling. ;-)

#4 Looks like the seal leaked, so they'd better get it serviced asap.

#5 I lost a contaier of HH goods in a typhoon off Japan. Guess my Oyster might still be ticking.
