for no one has manufactured jelly beans for over a hundred years. Where did he get jelly beans?
That s another good question. More than likely it will never be answered to your complete satisfaction.
But then, how many questions ever are?
The middle you know. Here is the beginning. How it starts:
A desk pad. Day for day, and turn each day. 9:00 open the mail. 9:45 appointment with
planning commission board. 10:30 discuss installation progress charts with J. L. 11:45

I m sorry, Miss Grant, but the time for interviews was set at 2:30, and it s almost five now. I m sorry
you re late, but those are the rules. You ll have to wait till next year to submit application for this college
again. And so it goes.
The 10:10 local stops at Cresthaven, Galesville, Tonawanda Junction, Selby and Farnhurst, but not at
Indiana City, Lucasville and Colton, except on Sunday. The 10:35 express stops at Galesville, Selby and
Indiana City, except on Sundays & Holidays, at which time it stops at . . .and so it goes.
I couldn t wait, Fred. I had to be at Pierre Cartain s by 3:00, and you said you d meet me
under the clock in the terminal at 2:45, and you weren t there, so I had to go on. You re always
late, Fred. If you d been there, we could have sewed it up together, but as it was, well, I took
the order alone . . .And so it goes.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Atterley: In reference to your son Gerold s constant tardiness, I am afraid we will
have to suspend him from school unless some more reliable method can be instituted guaranteeing he will
arrive at his classes on time. Granted he is an exemplary student, and his marks are high, his constant
flouting of the schedules of this school makes it impractical to maintain him in a system where the other
children seem capable of getting where they are supposed to be on timeand so it goes.

You got here late. The job s taken. Sorry.
YOUR SALARY HAS BEEN DOCKED FOR TWENTY MINUTES TIME LOST.
God, what time is it, I ve gotta run!
And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes goes goes goes goes tick tock tick tock
tick tock and one day we no longer let time serve us, we serve time and we are slaves of the schedule,
worshipers of the sun s passing, bound into a life predicated on restrictions because the system will not
function if we don t keep the schedule tight.
Until it becomes more than a minor inconvenience to be late. It becomes a sin. Then a crime. Then a
crime punishable by this:

What they had done was devise a method of curtailing the amount of life a person could have. If he was
ten minutes late, he lost ten minutes of his life. An hour was proportionately worth more revocation. If
someone was consistently tardy, he might find himself, on a Sunday receiving a communiqué from the
Master Timekeeper that his time had run out, and he would be turned off at high noon on Monday,
please straighten your affairs, sir, madame or bisex.
And so, by this simple scientific expedient (utilizing a scientific process held dearly secret by the
Ticktockman s office) the System was maintained. It was the only expedient thing to do. It was, after all,
patriotic. The schedules had to be met. After all, therewas a war on!
