If you land randomly in 1963 and wonder if it's before or after the Kennedy assassination, it's way more likely that it's before, since it happened in late November.

The Postal Service taught me this
Running around 1963 Dallas muttering,
“Last week I had the strangest dream where everything was exactly how it seemed where there was never any mystery of who shot John F Kennedy. It was just a man with something to prove, slightly bored and severely confused. He steadied his rifle with his target in the center and became famous on that day in November…”
My dear man, it's 1963 and you're on the street. Somewhere not far from you there's gonna be a newspaper stand or a store selling newspapers. Don't ask random people on the street what year it is like a madman.
David Lister. Where's the nearest curry?
That man? Lee Oswald
That man? Director of the CIA
That man? JFK, whose head was about to just do that
About to do just wh- OH MY JESUS
Why does his eye colour change between the first two pictures
Doppler effect.
I got tears in my eyes from laughing
It brings me joy to bring others joy, good day.

Time traveler: What day is it?
Person: September 11, 2001
Time Traveler: Have you heard about a plane hitting a building yet?
Person: Yea, I heard about the first plane
Time Traveler: 👀
Oh! I didn't expect to meet another time traveller here! What brings you down here?
I'm here to kill the guy who tries to stop the guy who kills JFK.
👀
Oh wow! Thanks for the help, I'll be glad for all the support I can get. Wait, someone tries to stop me?
Not me. I'm just here to watch.
Yes, I have no internal monologue. What do you mean you're arresting me!?
Time travlers obviously upset the man in the street knows dees.
What year is it? 2025!? Then it's not too late...
I'm just here to pitch Stephen King's 11/20/63.
