Daylight Savings Time

I was told that Daylight Saving Time was invented by a wise old Indian who cut his blanket in half then had his woman sew the ends together to make it longer. Many years later I met the wise old Indian at a club where I was playing in Vancouver. He said that only a politician already established in some cushy government position would come up with the idea that someone could cut a foot of his blanket and sew it to the other end to make it longer. Many years later I heard, because he was famous, that the wise old Indian had passed away. While contemplating our visit many years before and what he had said about the business of turning our clocks backward or forward I had an epiphany; Daylight Savings Time was invented by a very warped mind.
