Well, mine aren't quite that old, but they did come from the time of a party line - "two longs and a short" was our ring, and the phone company cut us off after six and a half minutes.
Trying to keep this gun related, "six and a half minutes" goes by rather quickly when you're a 16 year-old hunting crazy kid talking to your buddies about guns. But the truth is, "six and a half minutes" went by rather quickly when I was a 16 year-old girl crazy boy talking to girls about things that didn't have anything to do with guns.
Time is relative, 1 unit of time doesn't necessarily, subjectively, equal the same unit of time under different circumstances.
When time is slow:
Waiting for a mandated waiting period to be over.
Waiting for the first day of deer season to get here.
Waiting for the red light to turn green when you're close to being late to work.
Waiting for 5pm on Friday of a holiday weekend.
Waiting for a repair to your favorite gun.
When time zips by:
An evening out with good friends.
Hours at the gun range when you're paying for each one.
How long a box of 50 rounds of ammo lasts for your favorite gun at the range.
In short, how long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you find yourself.
