Breaking the Fast

I have some coworkers who are Muslim and observing the Ramadan fast, and today during morning tea we started chatting about the amount of delicious food that can be found near the mosques during this season. Mr. Francis (the only staff before whose name we use a title) is not Muslim, but really enjoyed the shish kebabs that he found around 6:45 last night. So we started talking about breaking the fast, when they break the fast, and how the time that Muslims can break their fast is 6:47pm. Not only is 6:47 when they are able to break their fast, they are required to eat something at this time. When Mr. Francis realized that this was the case, the look on his face was incredulous and, hoping that his friend would not face horrible implications if he should happen to break the fast a moment too late, he turned to Sham and asked, “And do you have a good watch?”
