Thanks I think there are a lot of Minichan users that don't have phones and computers that remind them of this.

> Spring Forward - Fall back
Nobody in the UK says "fall", though. It's "Autumn". Thanks.

You may be right but it doesn't stop thousands of people each year turning up for work and appointments an hour early.

That doesn't work
Spring, (as in jump) forward - Fall, as in (tip over backwards)Backwards. Dear God it's like teaching year 1.

That's not what that means you fucking idiot. It's referring to FALL as in the American usage, not physically fall. It's an American phrase. God. Faggot.

You should do it like China: one time zone for the entire country, and no changes ever.

Yes, we all understand that - it's a play on words ie Fall has a double meaning. There is nothing about Autumn to suggest either forwards or backwards hence it does not help you to remember which way round things are. Spring forward and fall back - get it.

Try these:
1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.
5. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. (You might like to think about this one a while)
