As Roger noted, they all have a 'J' connection. As for why... David's watch was not working. He remembered passing a little shop with clocks and watches in the window, so he took the watch in for repair. "Can I help you?" asked the man behind the counter. "I want this watch repaired," said David. "I'm sorry. I don't repair watches." "Well, how much for a new one then?" asked David. "I don't sell watches." "You don't sell watches?" "No, I don't sell watches." "Clocks, you sell clocks then? How much for a clock?" "I don't sell clocks." David was getting exasperated. "You don't sell watches, you don't sell clocks?" "No, I'm a mohel [a person who does circumcisions]," replied the man. "Then why do you have all those clocks and watches in the window?" "If you were a mohel, tell me, what would you put in your window?"
Anyway, I thought it would provide better entertainment than most things I could put there.
