[net.followup] old Timex blooper

The one I remember was the one where the elephant stood
on the Timex.  JCS took out the obviously mangled Timex
and quipped, "It's time for a new Timex."

 I thought he said, "Well it worked in rehersal."
 Or something like that.

	A while ago Timex ran an advertisement in Canada which had a
timex watch survive being hit with a hockey puck launched by some
slap shot enthusiast... 

	(personally, i would have thoug a wrist shot.......)

	For a few months after the advert was released it seemed that
Toronto's youth was testing this theory out themselves. Timex was
forced to cancel the advert.  It seemed that the watches were holding
out pretty well, but the wrists weren't.....
