Quarter till Eight

Okay, listen up, not-so-bright spark. Explain bear here. The joke is, time goes up to 60 minutes in an hour, not 75. Saying "7:75" is like saying you have 7 apples and 75 more... but the box only holds 60! "A quarter till 8" is the proper, based way to say 7:45. People feel big and smart using the right phrase instead of making up nonsense time like you probably would. It's basic stuff, even you should get it. Maybe.
