Okay, so i'm a bit special & i have a hard time knowing what time it is when a 24-hour clock is used. You know what i mean, maybe?
For example:
You park at the mall to have dinner & the first three-hours are free.
After dinner, i wonder "has it been more than 3 hours, so now do i have to go sneak into the movie theater to get validated...?"
Let me check my parking ticket-- oh, goodie, i arrived at 17:47, fantastic.
This is where i begin to count on my effing fingers so i can figure out what hour 17 is so i can finish my math.
But last night, that all changed! i was taught a trick by my bartender [no, no, not that kind of trick, although...]: "You subtract two when the clock reads 13-24 hour & the ones place will give you the hour on a 12-hour clock."
Uhm, can i tell you how happy this makes me!? And it effing works like a charm. 17 minus 2 =15. i got here at 5:47, i definitely need to sneak into the movie theater.
