A broken clock is right twice a day, but a running clock is probably never right.

At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what "right" really means

Two wrong don’t make a right, but three left turns do.

Man, that song hits me right in the feels. Every time.

I'm really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be Β±1 minute. If they aren't it really starts to bother me.

A broken clock may occasionally be right but it's regularly useless

time dilation ftw!

If you're lucky, a clock that's slightly too fast or too slow will be right once
