Some of the Best Times of Time

Memorable - "I remember the time when...."    (Aah!...the good old days!)
Puzzled - "What time is it?"    (Time for a watch!)
Philosophical - "Time is of the essence!"    (You can smell time???)
Exaggerated - "If I told you once, I told you a million times!"   (A million??...REALLY)
Request - "May I have more time?"     (Yeah, get it out of the bucket!)
Panic - "I NEED MORE TIME!!!"   (Sorry, fresh out of time!)
Procrastination - "I'll do it the next time!"     (Um....Maybe!)
Encouragement - "You'll do better the next time!"     (Be ready!)     
Threatening - "You just wait 'til the next time!"     (Uh-Oh!")
Wishful - "When I get some more time!"     (It's in the mail!)
Pondering - "How much time do I have?"    (Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock!)  
Questioning - "When was the last time?"     (Cmon, think hard now!)
Acceptance - "Time waits for no one!"      (Missed that bus again!)
WHAT????? - "Time and time again!"     (When was the first time???)
Admonishment - "Don't waste my time!"     (The bucket's almost empty!)
Ceasing - "Time out!!!"    (Whoa...stop right there!)
Foolish - "Turn back the hands of time!"     (Good luck on that one!!!)
Regret - "Time is what I don't have!"    (Buddy, can you spare a time?)
Boasting - "Yeah....I've got the time!"    (My loan rate is 100% interest!)
???????? - "Where did the time go???"   (I know it's around here somewhere!)
Advice - "Be on time!"     (Don't be late again!)
Wanting - "Give me some more time!"     (Gimme!...Gimme!...Gimme!)
Truth - "There is no more time!"     (Come back tomorrow...if there's time!)
Reality - "I'm running out of time!"    (Then pick up the pace!)
Upset - "Do you know what time it is???"     (You must be crazy! Look at the time!!!)
Pleading - "Do you have any time???"     (Buddy, can you spare another time?)
Realization - "I need to make the time!"     (Now where did I put that recipe???)
Befuddled - "I lost track of the time!"    (Where, oh where has my little time gone??)
It escaped - "Time got away from me!"   (Time to get a leash!)
Falsehood - "You can make up the time!"    (Counterfeit time???)
Biblical - "....and a time to every purpose under heaven:)    (Don't forget this one!)
The Best One - "You have ALL the time in the world!"    (BEWARE of that one!!!)
