Ilhan Omar Panics Over Missing 4 O’Clock Meeting, Claims It Is Already “One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven O’Clock”Washington, D.C. — Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) expressed growing concern Tuesday afternoon after glancing at a conference room clock and concluding that she had already missed her scheduled 4 p.m. meeting by several centuries. “Oh my G**, it’s one thousand one hundred and eleven o’clock already?” Omar reportedly said, staring at the Roman numeral clock face displaying IIII. “We were supposed to meet at four. How did this happen?” According to aides present in the room, the congresswoman became visibly agitated upon noticing the clock, which featured traditional Roman numerals. Sources say Omar misread the numeral IIII — commonly used on clock faces to denote four o’clock — as the Arabic number 1111. “I thought we had time,” Omar told staffers. “But it’s already eleven hundred eleven o’clock. That meeting was very important. It was about defunding something.” When an intern gently suggested that the clock actually showed 4:00, Omar waved him off. “Stop mansplaining time to me,” she replied. “I can read. That’s clearly one thousand one hundred eleven. Roman numerals are just another tool of Western imperialism designed to make Black and Brown people late for meetings about Palestine.” A senior staffer attempted to explain that IIII equals four, while 1111 would require an entirely different system of timekeeping not recognized by any known civilization. Omar responded by accusing the staffer of “numerical gaslighting” and demanded a sensitivity training session on decolonizing clocks. At press time, Omar had reportedly rescheduled the missed meeting for “X o’clock,” which she later clarified means ten, but then expressed confusion when informed that X is actually ten while her original meeting time had been represented by IIII. “We must ban clocks!” Omar said in a statement. “We need timepieces that don’t use letters to trick hardworking refugees into thinking it’s eleven hundred eleven when it’s supposed to be four. This is why we need comprehensive time reform in this country.” House Democratic leadership declined to comment, though one unnamed member was overheard muttering, “At this rate, we’re all going to be late for the heat death of the universe.” Omar’s office later clarified that her concern remains focused on “the temporal oppression faced by marginalized communities who have been historically denied accurate time.” They added that any criticism of the congresswoman’s grasp of Roman numerals constitutes Islamophobia.
