"If I tell you the time, then we'll start chatting. If we start chatting, then you'll want to meet me at a local pub to sip that pub. If we meet at a local pub, then we'll discuss my family. If we discuss my family, then you'll find out that my daughter is available for marriage. If you find out that my daughter is available for marriage, then you'll want to marry her. If you want to marry her, then my life will be miserable since I don't want my daughter married to some fool who can't afford a 10 dollar watch."
