[BC] Repetitively Redundant

All things are relative. This reminds me of this bizarre little scene from 
M*A*S*H.
IIRC when stranded in what may be enemy territory, the wiley Frank Burns 
finds a walkie talkie and tries to get help by transmitting the following:

"There is a fighter plane approaching. And, um, when I say "Now", the jet 
will be directly over my head.
................Now!"

Search and Rescue in the pre-GPS days LOL.

How about "the time, right now, is...?"  I'm always glad when the phrase
"right now" is given along with the time.  Otherwise, I wouldn't know if the
time check was telling me what the time was 23 minutes ago, or not. :-)
