Dan Quayle's time has come.
Talk about a pigeon. Talk about a sitting duck.He's fair game, no matter the season.
The vice president is being lampooned once again, this time with his image on a watch face.
The Quayle Time wristwatch has his full-color cartoon caricature looking very confused - his striped rep tie tells the time - but all the numbers are mixed up.
Uh-oh. Quayle is so confused he doesn't know the time of day?
But hey. We've laughed at Truman's piano playing, Ford's clumsiness, Reagan's forgetfulness, Johnson's tummy scar, Bush's points of light and his fishing.
The (Quayle) watch actually functions. Selling for $26, it has a genuine leather band.
Krazy Time Co. in Simi Valley, Calif., markets the watch.
The company is headed by two former stockbrokers, Richard Ongstad and Steve Hill.
"We did it (the first watch) as a joke for ourselves," says Ongstad, "but every time somebody saw it they would want to buy one. Now we are selling all over the United States, mostly to professional people. Collectors also buy it."
Ongstad figures they'll turn out 100,000 watches.
