You've obviously not had a job where you punch a time card upon arrival and

departure to verify the number of hours you'd get paid for. The machine that

marks the time on the card is a time clock. Some days I wish I had that kind

of job again (Not Really, I didn't mean it!) The advantage is you don't have

to drag home stacks of papers to grade on a daily basis (because they never get

graded the first few times you drag them home).

Subj: Time clock



I just heard, in the lyrics to a song

by the Tractors, the expression "time clock."



Is this a common expression? I've never heard it.



What other kinds of "clock" are there besides

those of the "time" variety? I'm stumped.



The Tractors, btw, are from Oklahoma.
