Talking Clock

  A drunken man shows his friends around his new house late on night. They see a big gong in his bedroom.

  “What’s that big gong for?” one of his friend asks.

  “It’s …not a gong. It’s …a talking …clock” the drunken man replies.

  “A talking clock?”

  “Yes.”

  “How does it work?” the second friend asks.

  “Watch,” the drunken man says. He picks up a hammer and gives it a big pound. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall shouts “Be quiet! It’s ten past three in the morning!”
