HOW TO TELL THE TIME WITH A DONKEY

A MAN AND HIS WIFE ARE ON

HOLIDAY IN TIBET.

WHILE SHOPPING IN A SMALL VILLAGE,

THE WIFE ASKS HER HUSBAND

WHAT TIME IT IS, LOOKING DOWN AT HIS WRIST

THE MAN REALIZES HE HAS LEFT

HIS WATCH IN THE MOTEL ROOM.

AFTER A FEW UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS

TO FIND AN ENGLISH SPEAKING LOCAL,

THE COUPLE FINALLY FIND AN

ELDERLY MAN SITTING QUIETLY

ON THE STREET WITH HIS DONKEY.

"EXCUSE ME," THE HUSBAND SAYS,
"COULD YOU TELL US THE TIME?"

"ABSOLUTELY", REPLIES THE ELDERLY MAN,

AND REACHES DOWN AND

GRABS THE DONKEY'S BALLS.

"IT IS 3:00," SAYS THE PEASANT.

"THANK YOU,"

REPLIES THE WIFE IN A SURPRISED VOICE.

AFTER DOING SOME SHOPPING AND

GRABBING A BITE TO EAT,

THE COUPLE RETURN TO THE OLD MAN

FOR THE TIME.

AGAIN THE ELDERLY MAN GRABS THE

DONKEY BY THE BALLS AND SAYS:

"IT IS NOW 4:45."

"THAT'S AMAZING," SAYS THE HUSBAND.

"HOW CAN YOU CAN TELL

THE TIME LIKE THAT?"

"SIT HERE WHERE I AM,"

SAYS THE PEASANT.

"NOW, DO YOU SEE THE DONKEY'S BALLS?"

"OF COURSE," THE MAN REPLIES.

"NOW REACH DOWN AND TAKE

THEM INTO YOUR HAND."

HESITANTLY, THE HUSBAND DOES

AS HE IS INSTRUCTED.

"NOW, SLOWLY LIFT THEM,"

HE CONTINUES.

AGAIN THE HUSBAND DOES AS INSTRUCTED.

"NOW LOOK UNDERNEATH THE

DONKEYS BALLS AND BETWEEN HIS

TWO FRONT LEGS."

THE HUSBAND DOES AS HE'S TOLD.

"NOW," THE OLD MAN SAYS,

"CAN YOU SEE THE CLOCK ON THE WALL

OF THAT BUILDING OVER THERE?"
