time is relative

Last week when I was on the plane and asked the flight attendant what time it was she responded with "6:26pm at our destination". I was impressed with her precision.

Today at 12:43pm in Santa Monica CA a homeless man asked me for the time and I responded with "one o'clock". Was he impressed with my precision? Maybe I should have said "lunch time" but that could be rude because it implies eating.

Thought provoking less the none.
