TALKING CLOCK

WHILE PROUDLY SHOWING OFF

HIS NEW APARTMENT TO FRIENDS,

A COLLEGE STUDENT

LED THE WAY INTO THE DEN. 

"WHAT IS THE BIG BRASS

GONG AND HAMMER FOR?"

ONE OF HIS FRIENDS ASKED. 

"THAT IS THE TALKING CLOCK",

THE MAN REPLIED. 

"HOW'S IT WORK?"

THE FRIEND ASKED. 

"WATCH",

THE MAN SAID THEN PROCEEDED

TO GIVE THE GONG AN EAR

SHATTERING POUND

WITH THE HAMMER. 

SUDDENLY SOMEONE SCREAMED

FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL

"KNOCK IT OFF,

YOU IDIOT!

IT'S TWO AM IN THE MORNING!
