Holy crap - that means some poor Japanese family is stumbling over the 49 clocks in the hallways right now!
I guess that the reason Japanese folks are so punctual for appointments and dates is because of the massive amount of clocks that they have stashed away in their homes..
Remind me to never get my Asian friend a cuckoo clock.. He might have a minor hearing problem afterwards...
22 times a day? I'm way behind on this years quota. I guess the patriotic thing to do would be to stand in front of the fridge, and pull out different food stuffs individually for an hour or so.
what a coincidence, my 'accidents' are most likely to happen overnight as well...
I have 7 clocks just in this room.
And I open my fridge more than 22 times a day but at least I don't pull a chair up to it to look inside like my son used to.
"They" say, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". Now we know why.

The first is caused by the second I reckon!
I'd rather be sexy and smart! Hey.. it happens.. sometimes
I think I open my fridge about 59 times a day.
For some reason I have it in my mind that a chocolate cake is going to morph in the middle of the fridge.
It hasn't happened yet.
Heart attack when angry huh? Does this mean I have to make nice with the hub?
THAT WAS THE MOST OFFENSIVE DAMNED THING I....
ughhhh
BRB. Have to go to the hospital.
You made a typo.
It should have read:
"The average Japanese home has 7 times more crocks..."
You're welcome.
