I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that while the speaker may have been part of scheduled events (on a calendar), they have never been punctual or on time for those commitments. It conveys a lighthearted self-awareness about their tendency to be late and implies that being on time has proven challenging for them. The quote highlights a sense of personal humor and perhaps a recognition of their own flaws in time management.
