Last week I was in downtown San Francisco to teach a database class. In the middle of one of our sessions, an air raid siren began to blare. I stopped my lecture and said:
"That can't be good."
"Oh, that," one of the attendees said, not phased in the least. "It's just Tuesday at noon. That happens every Tuesday at noon."
"What? San Francisco gets bombed?"
No. Apparently, they test their air raid sirens every week.
"Yeah," chimed in another. "If they *didn't* set off the siren, *that* would have been cause for alarm."
It's all so clear to me.
So, if you happen to be in San Francisco on a Tuesday, and noon comes and goes and you don't hear an air raid siren, then, well... duck and cover.
