Theory of Lateness

I have finally discovered why I am always late.

NO. It is not because I'm lazy. Rather, it is because I do not believe in linear time, but circular time. For believers in circular time, this means that once time has passed, it is not lost forever as with linear time, but eventually, will fall back on itself in a circular fashion. Think of it as a spiral staircase; as it moves upwards, it spirals back on the parts below it - linear time, obviously, is just a straight line.

 Therefore, for spiraling time, every year passes back on itself. Depending how tight you want the spiral to be, every month. Every week. Or for my purposes, every half hour. See, if ever I'm 31 minutes late, I'm actually on time, because that first minute of the second half hour is spiralled back onto the first part of the hour. Similarly, If I'm one hour late, I'm only half an hour late, because of the spiral effect and so and on and so forth.

Anyhoo, must be off!

Clearly no one has ever told you that spiral staircases are dangerous inventions. Yes, they're fun to run up and down and they remind you of medieval days and dragons and all that, but it always ends in tears.

The same goes for circular time.

I'll totally take you on in an argument over this theory of yours.
