A Broken Clock Joke Is Making the Rounds
Original: Oh! The clock has changed, I thought it was broken. It is broken --- it's just that it broke at midnight, and right now
A short comedy routine about a clock that stopped at 9:36 is being shared widely. In the exchange, one person insists the clock changed, only to be told it actually broke at midnight, while the other denies ever saying it stopped at 9:36, insisting it has always read 12:01. The absurd back-and-forth over a malfunctioning clock is drawing amused reactions from readers.
Why now: People find the absurd circular argument about the broken clock funny and are sharing it.
