"A Couple Riddles"

You have probably heard these before but i think they are quite good, have a go-

A man is lying awake in his bed, he makes a phone call, says nothing, and puts the phone down. Why?

There is a man in the street with a small umbrella, 50 large people attempt to fit underneath it but they cant, still, no one gets wet. Why?

They are pretty easy.

Sorry...:-(

Thats a joke, not a riddle. A digital watch doesn't have a spring.

Oh dear.

Use the watch to determine which way is north etc..

I've not read down so I dont know if anyone answered or not but I think:

The man was writing the talking clock to see what time it was and it is an automated machine so he doesnt need to speak.

It wasnt raining so nobody got wet.

To use it to navigate? i.e. a compass?

I see you are being sarcastic.
Well done anyway, and I didn't cheat whatever you think.
