Cold War Thaw (Not a Polish Joke).
Today's gag is based on a Cold War Era joke.
The Prague Circus is playing in Vienna. One of the performers, a little person acrobat, or midget as he would have been called then, has planned an escape to the West. He leaves the guarded hotel at night, climbing down the drain pipe to the street, and hurries away to a house where he has been told that he can hide. He knocks on the door. The door opens a crack, and the little man whispers, "Pardon me, but can you cache a small Czexh?"

Just in time.
Time for a nooner.
According to the NIST, 12:00 p.m. is the instant immediately after the clock changes from 11:59:59 to 12:00:00.
"It is fair to say, however, that the shortest measurable duration after noon should be designated as p.m. For example, it would be applicable for a digital clock changing from 11:59:59 a.m. to 12:00:00 to indicate p.m. as soon as it the 12:00 appears, and not delay the display of the p.m. by a minute, or even a second."

Strangely, it's never a good time to talk about gun control.
