This Day in American History

On November 18th, 1883, American and Canadian railroads institute five standard continental time zones, ending the confusion of thousands of local times.

Life before this was pretty hard for the bi-coastal traveler, as they didn't quite understand what "Train-Lag" was. "This is some fucked-ass homo shit!" Exclaimed President James A. Garfield. "I get off this train to a campaign lunch in Oregon, and I was two hours late! What the fuck is up with these homos! I didn't even know that this was a state, next thing you know, they're changing the position of the sun! Fucktards."
