So I'm in Boston for an AAMI ECG standards conference this weekend. Think of it as a committee to discuss the allowable cog size and geometry for COSC watches, including the cog angles and backlash constants.
SNOOOGGGGGGGG..... GZAAAKKKKKKKK... GSAATSYDRDWEQEWPPPPLLLBBB!!!
Oh, sorry must have nodded off there...
Two blocks away is Newbury street, which is Boston's version of Rodeo Drive, and they have a couple of high end watch sales and repair shops. Went into one, and they had half a dozen Pateks, and some IWC's, and maybe a dozen Rolex's at most.
Yaawwwnnnn...
So I'm looking at what little selection there is, and turn around, and there is this humongous black lab just standing there. No leash or nothing - Hmmmm, must belong to the shop owner - well that's cool, if I owned a business my white fuzzball would certainly be on the premises.
And then I stared at the black lab some more, and thought about where I was, and blurted out:

The clerk looked at me and giggled, and said:

Apparently I was only the 1,000th person to figure this out...
