The Riddle Of The Missing Watch

This is a true story....

Yesterday I was looking for my single functional device, called in ancient English, a "watch" [heard of it?]. So strange that I should be interested in having a contraption that doesn't include Internet, email,  television,  radio, all of shas, a siddur, music and of course, a kosher mikva.

I am an old fashioned guy so I have old-fashioned devices. I would get an I-phone or blackberry [not knowing the difference between them:)] but I fear that I will not figure out how to use them. Plus there is the fear that my kid's Principal's will find out that their father carries a forbidden device and then what....

Anyway, I am looking and looking and looking but I can't find it. Since I was in a rush I decided that I will forget about it and find it later.

I go downstairs, get into the car and then find something very interesting wrapped around my wrist. You guessed it.

My watch.

The moral of the story is that the solution to many of our problems lie in the most OBVIOUS places. Think about it:).
