Come rain or shine
Richard was after a new wrist watch. Apparently his
old one didn't work anymore. It was one of those fancy,
solar-powered types but Richard didn't want another one
of those. He explained how they seemed to have a serious
design flaw in that they'd often be unable to get a good
charge from the sun because they'd often be covered by
the cuff of one's shirt! However the real reason turned
out to be an embarrassing little incident for Richard.
Richard thought he'd come up with the perfect solution
for the watch's inherent design flaw by, on sunny days
whilst at his office, opening the window and placing the
watch on the window ledge outside in order for it to get
a good charge. This worked fine until the day he forgot
all about the watch until several hours after leaving the
office for the day.
Apparently it was very embarrassing him having to
phone a colleague and request that they go and retrieve
his solar powered wristwatch from the ledge outside his
office window, particularly since it was no longer
solar-wristwatch-charging-sunny but
solar-wristwatch-wrecking-rain storm!
