Die Zeit Fliegt

Starting sometime last week, all the school's clocks have been frozen, slow, fast, and in a general state of anarchy. Luckily most have been fixed by now, but today in German Language Culture, Mr. Uhelski noticed that the one in his room was still several minutes off. This continued to mix him up throughout the first part of the hour as he kept glancing over at it to keep himself on schedule. Shortly thereafter, he asked John D. (that's junior John D.) to take care of the problem. Or, more accurately, he asked for someone with decent artistic skills and handwriting, and John volunteered, saying his artistic skills weren't great but his handwriting was acceptable. Mr. Uhelski then gave him the instructions to cut out an orange circle the size of the clock (because that was the color paper he had readily available), write a certain message on it, and tape it over the clock. Here's how it turned out:


,,Die Zeit fliegt," (dee TSAHYT fleegt) means "time flies," and apparently that helps us remember that the clock is broken. Well, it worked for me anyway. Yes, it's a bit of an oval, and yes, John heard about that, but he did volunteer based on handwriting after all, so I'll let that one...well...fly.
