After reading the subject line I immediately thought of this:
“This watch was on your daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hannoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew that if the gooks ever saw the watch, they’d confiscate it, take it away. The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He’d be damned if any slope’s gonna’ put his greasy yellow hands on his boy’s birthright. So he hid it, in one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years he wore this watch, up his ass."
While I'm certainly aware of where my watch is (to avoid really banging it into things) I don't pay too much attention to the clasp and don't take any real precautions to prevent it from getting dinged.
