*****************
Following a night out with a few
friends, a man brought them back to show
off his new flat.
After the grand tour, the were rather perplexed
by the large gong taking pride
of place in the lounge.
'What's that big brass gong for?' one of the
guests asked
'Why, that's my Speaking Clock' the man replied.
'How does it work?'
'I'll show you', the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering blow with an unpadded hammer.
Suddenly, a voice from the other side of the wall screamed,
'For, god's sake, you idiot, it's twenty
to two in the dratted morning!!'
