A drunk man invited a few friends over to show off his new place.
As they wandered through the bedroom, one friend noticed a huge brass gong hanging on the wall.
He pointed at it.
“What the heck is that for?”
The drunk man grinned proudly.
“That, my friend, is a talking clock.”
His friends burst out laughing.
“A talking clock? No way!”
“Just watch,” he said confidently.
He grabbed a hammer and gave the gong one enormous whack.
BANG!!!
The sound shook the walls, rattled the windows, and probably woke up half the neighborhood.
Everyone stood there in stunned silence.
Then, from the house next door, a furious voice suddenly screamed:
“IT’S FOUR O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING, YOU IDIOT!”
The drunk man smiled proudly.
His friends stared at him.
Finally, one of them nodded slowly.
“Okay… I’ll admit it.”
“That really is a talking clock.”
