Ever hear the one about the old geezer and his clock collection? There's this old duffer, see, who's got more spare dough laying around than is good for him. So, to get rid of some of it, he buys clocks - the kind you don't plug in. He buys: pocket watches, grandmother clocks, grandfather clocks, carriage clocks, French parlor clocks, Swiss Cuckoo clocks, Bavarian chime clocks, well you get the idea. This took the old duffer a few years. And as old duffers all eventually do, this one kicked off. Well, he left his affairs in a pretty horrible mess. He never did get around to making a will. It took his lawyers over seven years to wind up the estate.
