“Time flies” means that time passes quickly. Time doesn’t literally “fly,” but there are jokes.
“Time flies when you throw away calendars” was posted on Twitter by Greg Myers on July 18, 2018.
“Why did the man throw a clock out the window?”/“To see time fly” and “Time flies when you’re throwing watches” are similar “time” riddles.
