It was a Physics Experiment to answer fundamental questions of the General Relativity of Hourly Billing: How can you be two places at once, when you’re not anywhere at all?
Ten OF points for the Firesign Theatre reference, Mr. Wfjag.
These experiments require great care. Deputy Dan could shove him up against the Wall of Science just when he thinks he’s found a source for simulated exhilaration.

do not rush to judgment. maybe he was going through different time zones continuously, like riding the train in Icepiercer.
The longest day of 2017 was Sunday March 12th. It was 25 hours long in most states.
Round the clock negotiations in collective bargaining are not unusual. I’ve participated in several, but was an in house counsel at the time. However, had I been an outhouse counsel, a 24 hour billing cycle would have been legitimate.

“Cooke also indicated he failed to file a guardian ad litem brief by the deadline because of low testosterone, which caused him to sleep between 10 hours and 16 hours a day. At the same time, the court opinion said, he was billing for the state for his long work days.” [emphasis added] Especially surprising given the size of his balls.
Darrell, March 12 2017 was 23 hours. Spring ahead, lose an hour. On November 6, 2016, we fell back an hour, repeating 1 am-2am, giving that day 25 hours.
