A man approaches a busy looking, well dressed man who is carrying a large suitcase in each hand. "Can you tell me what time it is please"? Asks the first man.
The second man sighs, puts his suitcases down, and rolls up his sleeve to reveal a very snazzy looking watch. "It's 4:15" he replies. "hey that's a great looking watch" the first man says.
"well, I am an inventer and I made this watch myself. this watch can do most anything you want it too." It tellls the time and will show it for any major city in the world. If it is dark out, it not only lights up, but it speaks the time. I have a builtin cell phone right in this watch so which is voice activated so I only have to say the person's name and the phone calls them. I have a television on this watch that can receive signals from all satelites. I can store my entire music collection in this watch and have it play in any order I want. With this button here, I can remotely control my house including startting supper cooking and the robot vacuum cleaner cleaning the house. This watch also has builtin GPS so that I always know where I am going and what stores are around me. Of course it also can connect directly to the internet from anywhere and retrieve any information I need.
"that's incredible" says the first man. You can do all that just with that watch? I want to buy it."
"This watch is one of a kind because I invented it myself. I wouldn't want to sell it."
Tell you what" says the first man, I'll give you $10,000 for that watch and you can use the money to start a company to make more of thenm."
The second man thinks for a moment and says, OK. $10,00 it is. By the way, this watch can scan your credit card right here and put the money into my bank account."
So, the first man hands over his credit card. After scanning it, the second man hands the credit card back, and removes the watch from his wrist.
The first man grabs the watch and is about to walk away.
"Hey" says the second man, pointing at the 2 large suitcases, "you almost forgot the batteries!".
