Timely Speech

The CEO of the company was giving a speech at the annual shareholders’ meeting. Enthused about his company’s performance and the prospects for the next year, he lost track of time and spoke for two hours.

Finally, he realized that he had been speaking for too long and apologized, saying, "I’m sorry I talked so long. I left my watch at home."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "There’s a calendar behind you."
