Are they ahead of us or behind us? <br/>Shipping manager: They&#39;re to the right of us. <br/>Shipping clerk: Huh? <br/>Shipping manager: Virginia is on the East Coast. The same east that the sun rises on. <br/>Shipping clerk (after some thought): Okay, so it&#39;s earlier there? <br/>Shipping manager: No, it&#39;s later by one hour. <br/>Shipping clerk (after a little more thought): How can it be later in Virginia if the sun is still rising there? It&#39;s been up here for a few hours now!<br/><br/>Des Moines, Iowa<br/>via <a href="http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/">Overheard in the Office</a>, Sep 4, 2008
