Talking Clock
-------------------------

Proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night the drunk led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.

"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked. "It's not a gong. It's a talking clock" the drunk replied.

"A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend.

"Yup" replied the drunk.

"How's it work?" the second guest asked, squinting at it.

"Watch" the man said. He picked up a hammer, gave it an ear shattering pound and stepped back.

The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed "You friggin' IDIOT!...it's ten past three in the morning!"

Nice morning for a smoke and it's been a long time since I have had a morning smoke.  This little Namabuki was gifted by SandySteve back in May of 2013.

yes she made it back Tuesday night and I stopped by her house yesterday and let her tell me all her stories about how many people there were there.  Poor thing said everywhere they went had long lines, she seemed to have enjoyed her visit there but was much happier in her own house.
