You are standing at a bus stop. There is a well dressed gentleman standing next to you sporting a very nice and very expensive Rolex watch.
You look at your own watch to see how long a wait it will be for the bus and you find that your watch has stopped, so you ask the gentleman next to you for the correct time.
The gentleman then does something that no one in the entire world would EVER have done 50 years ago.
What does he do?

But you know what? When he wants to know what time it is, and he can't see the venue's clock, does he dig his cell phone out of his pocket to look?
Ooooooooh noooooo!
He asks his bassist to look at her watch.
Ayyyyyyup!

That's would he would have done now because:
1. In his mind he is to busy for you.
2. He doesn't speak a lick of your language.
Edit: Yeah, I said lick.
