Here's some Revolutionary War humor at my expense. I have some much younger friends (young enough to be my sons) I associate with in the hobby of archery and last July at a camp out I asked them if they knew when the first instance of syncronizing watches occurred in battle. They gave up. I told them it was during the battle of Trenton after Washington crossed the Delaware and he divided his troops with instructions that the attacks would commence at XYZ o'clock. He syncronized his watch with that of the officer leading the other half of the army.

One of my younger friends asked me "Which direction did you go?"
