A Stitch In Time

Dear Indigna,

Is it true that "a stitch in time saves nine"?

Dear Frugal,

No. I'd say quite the opposite is true. The fabric of time is ludicrously difficult to work with. It's impossible to keep it from running, if you can even pin it down. You get a wrinkle in time if you just look at it! For God's sake, if you must buy time, buy the right size already!
