No sooner had he settled back to snooze when there came a knocking on his window.
He looked out and saw a jogger running in place.
"Yes?"
"Excuse me, sir," the jogger said, "do you have the time?"
Banta looked at the car clock and answered, "6:15"
The jogger said thanks and left. Banta settled back again, and was just dozing off when there was another knock on the window and another jogger.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have the time?"
"6:25!"
The jogger said thanks and left. Now Banta could see other joggers passing by and he knew it was only a matter of time before another one disturbed him.
To avoid the problem, Banta got out a pen and paper and put a sign in his window saying, "I do not know the time!"
Once again he settled back to sleep. He was just dozing off when there was another knock on the window.
"Sir? It's 6:45"
