"Twenty minutes late is early,"

I remarked several months ago, in all seriousness, after turning in a term paper which I had not quite finished by the "deadline." (When attached to "line", "dead" for me carries more the meaning of "guide". It is a venomous creed.) It has stuck, more or less, as my more or less (un)official motto.

Just under five hours is practically the same as twenty minutes.

...right?
