“See, I was just taking the 18th second out for repair, when seconds 32 and 48 fell into my tighty-whities. I was already into my daily exercise routine of running through the back alleys of D.C. when I realized I had the extra tics. Well I couldn’t just stop my workout – you know how it is. So I put the two moments in time under a construction trailer so that I could pick them up and return them the next day when I reverse my 13 mile run which I normally complete in less than 70 minutes, if I remember to carbo-load, and I rarely forget to carbo-load. We good now?”
Check that clock’s socks.
The clock’s socks won’t tock.
I get it.
Now for the tie-in to alien-abduction-caused “missing time” reports…
Because of the docs.
It has to mean something that everyone keeps spelling his name like that.
Tics in the pants can be very unpleasant. Ha!

They’d have to be hickory-dickory docs, wouldn’t they?
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for some documents today …..
Sandy Burglar
This isn’t News! We need more Anna and Brittany coverage.
ILLUSTRATE THEIR FALL FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN!!!
Sloppy handling of the docs lead to the missing of the tocs…
Ve have ways of making you toc, Meester Berger…
If a clock tics and someone deletes the record of it ticking, does it make a sound?
It all started with a blowjob didn’t it? The obvious lesson is never, ever, ever combine clocks, time, and oral sex.
I think that was more of a mystic awakening there, Jeff.
There’s a moment in time that will never tock again…
The answer is an enigmatic one.
Tick tock ya do stop . . .
Sorry, but this particular conceptual series makes me a little . . . cuckoo.
Only every hour on the hour, I hope.
So the point of the story is that Sandy B. stole
errrr… accidentally absconded with two tics.
I am not Jeff G. but when I grow up I want to be Jeff G.
Excuse me – are u lost?
Meg Q
There was one?!??
I joined the army ‘cause my father and my brother were in the army. I figured I better join before I got drafted.
That’s why I want to be Jeff G. when I grow up……
He gets the Stripes references.
Cruiser: I joined the army ‘cause my father and my brother were in the army. I figured I better join before I got drafted.
Sergeant Hulka: Son, there ain’t no draft no more.
Cruiser: There was one?
I say that to my wife and daughter all the time and they look at me like I were retarded.
or was retarded
I think the present tense would be more appropriate there…

Man, this series gives me the willies. Every time I think, “This time it goes off for sure.” But it never does.
Tic: “If you shred me, do I not bleed?”
