I only wish. I work with a transactional system from the 70s on
a daily basis that decided to store something like a "work date" and
"work time". The date changes whenever they decide to dateroll the
system. Until then the time field continues to grow, so you see times
like 25:00 and 26:00 all the time.

Exceptions abound.
