How the Italians tell the time

In the Italian countryside, there is only one easy way to tell the time.

Excellent point, well made. I have no explanation as to what I was thinking when I wrote those tags... but at least I clearly wasn't thinking about donkey balls, so I'll take that as a positive. Anyway, fixed >> ^kulpims:
udders? cow? it's a donkey and those are balls:)

Funny, 9 hours supposedly passed and the shadows barely moved. It's almost as if they filmed the two segments back to back. Not to nitpick but it does kind of ruin the effect of an entire day having passed.

Well not to nitpick but... even though you said "not to nitpick" you still went ahead and nitpicked.

They're just trying to tell a joke. Suspend your disbelief for one brief moment.

No, the subtitles are wrong. In the original italian, the times are 5:35 and 7:15.


Ah that makes more sense. Thanks.

And to respond to earlier comments, the "not to nitpick" phrase implies that I didn't think it was a minor issue. This was an aspect of the video that stopped my suspension of disbelief. The narrative didn't make sense. So I didn't think it was a nitpick. But you guys disagree -- fair enough.

example usage:
Bob: "I want to be president of the world"
Dave: Not to nitpick, but there is no president of the world.
Bob: You said you wouldn't nitpick!

Well not to nitpick (probably using that phrase incorrectly) but I wonder how old this video clip is because I first heard this joke about 40 years ago, except it was a Mexican with his burro.
